LUCAYAN NOVELTIES.
Odd Articles from n Little known
Land Are Now Common In
This Country.

Since the Spanish war, New Workers
have shown more interest in the prod
ucts from the Caribbean. The reason
of this is commercial matter-no
doubt the West Indians have acquired
an easier method of exchanging prod
ucts. At any rate, enc sees little re-
minders of the lesser known islands
and their inha bitants constantly. says
the New York Post. \ few days ago
special prominence was given to i'm
portations from the Lucayan islands
by several shops. The Lucayans, pop
ularly called Bahamas. have been here
tofore known to Americans as win
ter resort. and outside of the travel
ing class, few persons have been bene-
fitted by their output.

rine gulf and bays are the home of the

SMALL GIRL AVERTS WRECK.
Runs Down the Track and with
Jacket Warns Engineer of
Horse the Track.

A little blue-eyed heroine of eight
years in the person of Clara Schlosser
is receiving homage from scores of
thankful travellers and the members of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
crew of passenger train No. 4. By her
presence of mind ard bravery she
averted wreck that must have been
disastrous but for her act.
The railway through Greenville, Ia,
makes sharp turn near the Schlosser
home and the little girl knows as well
as the trainmen when the train should
arrive. A large dray horse in crossing
the track became fastened in the Gull
vert just before the train was due.
Without a thought OF danger to herself
the little girl threw off her red jacket
and ran down the track till she met the
passenger train. Wildly waving the red
jacket as she ran she warned the en-
gineer. who managed to stop the train
within a few feet of the child. When i
was all over the passengers had cheered
her and cried over her and showered
her with silver and some gold coins.
She told The engineer thar she did not
think about the people on the train.
She was thinking only of the danger
the poor horsie" was in.

THE GASOLINE ENGINE A
GREAT FARM HELP.

A good many farmers have the idea
that the modern gasoline engine is
something for the factory and the
shop, and that it has no place on the
farm
1t is a mistaken idea. These very
farmers would be surprised if they
would stop to think Of their own work
and see how many places and how
many ways a relia BILE power would
be serviceable to them. The fact is
that the gasoline engine, ready, pow
erful, easily moved, easy to operate
and economical, is emphatically the
farmers power.
The international Harvester Com
pany of America is advertising from
time to time line Of these engines
in this paper. We are persuaded that
readers who ignore this advertise
ment, thinking that the gasoline en-
CINE is not for them, are not living
up to their privileges.
A power Of some kind has always
been a necessity on the farm. It is
now more of necessity than ever.
Farm machines have multiplied. They
all have their place, they are all la
Dor savers. But many of them require
power to operate them. You can not
get full value out of them and make
them do their full duty of labor saw
ing without a power.
The slow process Of generating pow
er through system Of gear wheels
by having horses travel in circle

will not answer it this day. When it
had its day, slow and wasteful as it
was, it was never used except at
threshing time and for one or two
other purposes. The windmill was
never Of much value except for pump
ing water and from the very nature
OF things was very unreliable even for
that. The treadmill was worse than
either. All were makeshifts which
were used because some sort of power
was absolutely necessary on the farm
and because nothing else in those
times was available.
With all our expensive machines
and high-priced land and scarcity of
labor, our farming must be more in
tensive than formerly, We must pro-
duce more; we must get the most out
Of our machines. We must be less
at the mercy of hand labor.
The III. c. line of gasoline engines
are handy powers available alike for
UIS anu uCIlo duties. lnlnk Tor
moment of a reliable power that you
can take anywhere for any kind of
work and have it in operation the mo-
ment you get there. Think of having
all the power you want just as long
as you want it and then shutting it
of and stopping all the expense in
stantly. The cost is always low in
proportion to the work done. It's a
power you can operate yourself. 1t
will save you labor and make you
money in a score of ways. You will
find it will soon repay its cost and
you will have the engine for many
more years Of duty.

war revenue tax was placed upon certain
goods and articles A tax of six cents was
placed upon tobacco, but, for convenience of
the trade, the manufactures was allowed to
reduce the size of the package instead of in
creasing the price
For instance, two ounce package was
reduced to one and two-thrds ounces, three
ounce package to two and one-half ounces, but
the price remained five and ten cents.
In due course of time the war revenue tax
was repealed but the size of the package was
not restored to its former size.
Isn't it strange that some of our wide
awake statesmen at Washington have not
found this 'joker" before?
1t is surprising when you stop to think that
it is hard to find package Of tobacco not put
up by the Tobacco Trust.
TO make long story short, the consumers
of tobacco have been mulcted out Of $45,ooo,
ooo and the bulk of the $45ooo,ooo has gone
into the Golfers of the Tobacco Trust.
Since our government is spending millions
of dollars in building big battleships to make
our navy as powerful as those of Europe, the
European countries have become alarmed and
want to spend millions in keeping ahead of u.s.
As soon as Europe begins to spend those
millions, Our Congress will appropriate more
millions to catch up again, and SO will go the
race for the most powerful navies-from Ell
rope to us, and from us back to Europe.
But where will it end, and what will be the
result?
Listen to the warning that Sir Edward
Grey, secretary for foreign affairs, gave the
English House of Commons while the govern
ment's policy of increasing the navy was be-
ing debated.
The warning that if the race for arma-
ment continued, it would mean eventual Ell
ropean bankruptcy.
And what it means for Europe, it will mean
for us.

Next in ferceness to the demand for mate
that no other man shall touch, comes the pas

Does Socialism still contend that Society

If SO, Socialism strikes deadly blow at

AS to getting the reform forces together, we
are ready. That has been Mr.. Watson's atti-
tude, all along He was willing to work with
Bryan in 1896, when Democracy meant vir-
tually the same as Populism. He was willing
to work with Hearst, until Mr.. Hearst entered
into that unholy compact with Murphy and
Tammany.
He is willing now to cooperate earnestly
with Debs, and all other reform leaders, pro-
vided, the purpose be to restore the Govern
ment to it's ancient landmarks and make it
truly democratic. We don't need to do more
than to abolish abuses, Special Privilege and

(Answer)
The Jeffersonian is always ready to publish
legitimate criticism, for censure stimulates in
vestigation and free discussion.
When we say that Socialism is headed for
bloody revolution, mean that private pos
sessions can not be socalized by the ballot
The Have nots" may outnumber the "Haves,"
and may vote to make Society the owner Of all
property, but the men who are in possession
of the private wealth will never surrender
without fight.
Do the Socialists still adhere to the prin-
cple that private ownership is wrong? Do
they still contend that all property must be
owned in common?
If so, they are headed for bloody revolu-
ton.
If not, they have modified their demands
When we say that the Socialists are headed
10Y reign OF elemental chaos, we mean that
they propose to subvert the present order and
to establish a new one, based upon profound
misconception of human nature.
Socialist communities invariably fail in spite
of the fact that the founders carefully pick and
choose the men and women who are to work
out the experiment. They fail because human
nature is just what it is.

for himself, his wife, and his child; but It is
