The Negroes in the National Re
publican Convention.

When the edict came from the
White House that representation for
Louisiana in the National Republican
Convention is to be divided between
the contrasting Black and Tan and
and Lilly White delegations, So that
neither of the contesting committees
were recognized, it proved a great
shock TO those citizens of the South
ern States who are trying to build up
a white Republican party in this sec
ton
But the simple fact is that the ne
groes are the Republican party in the
South, and they are bound to receive
recognition as such by the Northern
Republicans.
The Southern negroes have a large
voice in nominating a Presidential
candidate while they have little or
none in electing him The absurdity
of the situation is seen in the fact
that Florida east ssh votes for
Roosevelt al the Presidential election
of 1904 Louisiana cast 5.2O5. Missis-
sippi east ,, 554. The four are to have
eighty-two delegates IN the Republi-
can national convention next week.
though together they cast but 1921
votes for Roosevelt. Pennsylvania
and Connecticut together are to have
eighty-two delegates in the conven-
ton. They east 952 OBS votes FOR
Roosevelt.

A few days ago VIM J. Bryan,

the question is the democratic
policy Of DISTINGUISHING the negro
in the South is in accord with spirit
of brotherhood of which you have
been speaking Characteristic of
the Democratic statesman he was
ready with an answer, which can
hardly be criticised by the people
of any section Of the country, and
certainly meets the approval of the
people Of the South 1t revealed the
fact that he Thoroughly understood
the situation, and no honest man
will deny the truthfulness of his
assertion. He replied: The white
men of the South put a qualifica-
ton on negro suffrage in self-de-
Tense and there is not community
in the North that would not put on
similar qualifications under the
same circumstances Newton Re

A night Waterman without a
hand, at La Junta, California. shot
three times and killed a Mexican
loiterer on the premises of the San
Ia Fe railroad. The Waterman
had when boy lost both hands in
a cane mill, but can use a pistol as
dextrously as a man with two hands,
by means of hooks on his wrists.
Capt Ned Cutie" of Dombey
fame was very clever at handling
silver watches and sugar tongs with
a hook for one hand, but the feat
of this Waterman captures the pen
nant in that line.

SNOW BIRD PIE

Mrs. Mary See and Nancy Keel,
two aged ladies past the threescore
and ten post, residing east of this
city, we're siezed with an appetite
for pie and q genius to appeass it.
One night recently, armed With a
lamp and laths in their hands they
won't to their barn and waged a
war Of determination against a
multitude of snow birds that roost-
ed therein.
The light blinded the birds and
the laths slew them and the old
ladies secured twenty -nino. They
were taken to the house and dress
ed and made into a pie Of rare ord
err. Thus a new dish has been in
t1odueed to the winter tables of
the snow bird states.
AS snow birds are not protected
by law they are the only game
bird to be had at this season.

SOME ERRORS OF THE TYPES.
Really Amusing BIunders Of Which
Record Has Been Kept.

deplorable result: There was no bon

own daughters, and this fact was
further emphasized by the perfect
fit of the shepherdess costumes they
wore" A country paper, after telling
how a COW got in front of a train,
said: "As the safest course, under the
circumstances, the engineer put on
full steam, dashed into the COW and

One bv GEN. Miles.

Gen. Miles used to tell of a surgeon,
at a certain post during the civil war
who was chaffed a great deal for his
fiowery and e~xtravagant style Of ex-
preston, both written and oral. On
one occasion 1T appears that the col
onel of the regiment had appropriated
the surgeons tent for a mess-table,
without the usual Formally of stat
ing his intentions. Whereupon the
surgeon sent a complaint to the Of
ficer in command. Among other things
he said: IT have not SO much as a fly
to interpose between my head and
the star-decked heavens above me-
This unique document followed the
regular routine and eventually re-
turned to the unfortunate surgeon
with the following endorsement: "Col.
Brown will cause a fly to be inter-
posed between the head Of the com
p~lainant and the star-decked heavens
above him as soon as possible."-Il

MODERN WORK WILL NOT LAST.
Newspapers and Books Printed To
Day Have Short Lives.

"The men who wrote history on
tablets of stone in ages gone had a
difficult task 10 perform, and had to
cultivate the habit of brevity," says
a writer in a German paper, "but
what they wrote was preserved. 1t will
be different with the newspapers and
books of the present time. The paper
upon which they are printed will dis
integrate in a few years, and the
records, historical, scientific and liter
airy, will become dust. l saw two
papers last week which told the
whole story. One contained an &C
count of the death of Napoleon Bona
parte. 1t was printed in 1921, was in
a state of perfect preservation, and
looked as though 1t might last, with
ordinary care, a hundred years. The
other paper was kept because its
leading article described the surren-
der Of Sedan, which had taken place
a day before. Although it had been
printed nearly so years later, the
Sedan paper had to be handled care
fully to prevent it's tearing in the
eases. One of these papers was
printed on old-fashioned paper, and
the other on the modern kind. With
the two specimens before me I can
not refrain from urging once
that a few numbers of all books and
newspapers, enough for all first-class
Libraries, be printed on good paper
for the benefit of those who will live
after U.S."

DOG SOLDIERS UNDER FIRE.
Successful Recent Experiments Made
In the German Army.

The use Of dogs for military pun.
poses has proved so successful in Ger.
many that the dog soldier is continu-
ally being taught new things. Near
Dresden recently there was a test of
skill which was a great revelation of
their accomplishments.
Two mocpanies of soldiers separated
a distance of a mile and a quarter, n
OF them, supposed to be an outpost in
n face OF an enemy, communicated
for some time by the aid of dogs
trained to go back and forth. Each
m b distance ~betweenthe two COM
panies was ~traversed by the days in
less than two minutes, in spite of in
tense heat and a great deal Of con-
fusing firing. t.,.
The special object Of the use OF
these last dogs is to enable detach-
ments Of inform themselves Of the
speed at which the enemy is approach
ing and SO to maintain a position up
to the last moment practicable.
On the same occasion the cartridge
dogs performed their peculiar. duty,
wrich is to supply the troops with
cartridges during a rapid fusillade.
Each dog wears a kind of pack saddle
which carries 300 cartridges, With
this load he travels up and down. the
Inc OF men, who help themselves to
cartridges as they have need.
AS soon as the pack saddle is empty
the dog, at command, makes of at
full speed to get it replenished..
Every one has heard of the dogs Of
the "pious monks of St.. Bernard"
which are supposed to have a sort Of
monopoly of the accomplishment of
serving the wounded and helpless and
calling assistance for them. But the
German military hive dogs trained to
search out and attend the wounded
and call human assistance.
These dogs of the ambulance corps
are trained to divided, duties. Some of
them, carrying a little flash of water
or restorative, simply sit and bark or
hay near the body of a fallen man.
Others have been trained to 60 in
search of assistance and guide q SOL
der of the ambulance corps
The trained dogs performed all
these functions very ski11fully at the
recent trial near Dresden It is plain
that the German army. Ii it should be
engaged in another war, would be &C.
companied by a greater number OF
dogs than ever before accompanied an
army on a campaign.

To save the contents Of his cash
register, James R. Hsncs, 81 years
old fought a fierce battle with Q
one-armed robber armed with a
brick, who attacked him In his
store, the Hance Electrical Com
pany at 1882 Olive Street last
night, says the Globe Democrat of
Monday. The arrival of Patrol
man Killoran and Beocard of the
Central District in response to
Hanoe's cries for help, caused the
stranger 10 flee, but he vas cap
tured after a chase of several
blocks. At the Central District
Station the man gave his name as
James Darlington, % years old,
who came here from Canyon City ,
Colo, a week ago. He said that
he vas hungry and penniless,
and was influenced TO make the
attempt by the sig hit of Hance
counting a roll Of bills inside
the store. His right hand he said
was cut off in an accident several
years ago.
Hancs was alone in the store at
the time of the attack. He was
standing behind a counter count
ing money. He placed $50. in his
pocket and returned about $40 0.
to the cash register. At this mo-
ment the man entered. Slouching
up to the counter with q brick con-
cealed behind his back, the man
asked to be shown q clock. Hance
stepped from behind the counter
and started across the room, when
he was struck on the head and the
Aght began. Hance was taken to
the City Dispenssry, where he had
several. slight, scalp wounds
treated after which he went 10 the
