Medicine Man Made Good.

In the August Wide World Maya
zine, C. H. E. Askwith of Ottawa,
tells an amusing story of 'rain-ma'
king The prosperity of the Yukon
is. as every one knows, closely bound
I'D with an abundant rainfall, and In
order to insure this the services of
a "rain-making expert" were enlist,
ed by the government and a commit
tee of mine wners. He failed, where
upon Silas, hereditary chief of the
Moosehide Indians, staked his repu.
tation that his tribal medicineman
could do more wonders than all the
paleface's science. Nature, through a
remarkable coincidence, came to his
assistance--with the u~nlooked-for re
suits that the Yukon got all the rain
1t wanted, and that the entire tribe
of Moosehides went back to the faith
of their savage forefathers. "The
facts are strictly as l relate Them
writes the author. II was at that time
editor of the Yukon Daily World, and
took a small part in the affair"

DIVORCES RARE IN CANADA
Surprising Difference Between Stats
tics of United States and Her
Neighbor on the North.

There is a surprising difference be-
tween the divorce statistics of the
United States and those of Canada.
While in this country divorces are
granted by the thousand, on the other
side of the boundary the number rare
ly reaches even two figures annually
Since 1867 there has been a grand
total of 1876 divorces granted in Can
ada.
The figures are given in detail In
the st. John Globe as follows:
In 1S67-6S one was granted; in so
one; 10, II and 49,! none; '73, one
rs, one; '76, one; TT, four; rs, three;
70, one; "a, one; '85, five; SO, one
81, five; '8S. two; 'S9, four; 80, two;
'92, four; '93, seven; '94. six; 's5
three; 80. one; 81, one; '9S, three
80, four; 1900, five; '01, two; '02, two;
'03, seven; '04. six.
In 1905 nine were granted; in 1905
fourteen; 1907, five; 1908, eight, while
the last season eclipsed all records
with a total of 16.

TAIL0R's SIGNALS GO WRONG
Tries on New Shoes and Brings vol
ley from tho Bar
Room.

The tailor's shop is above a saloon.
The tailor likes his German JOY, ana
is such a steady customer thai the
saloonkeeper decided to put In a DUMP
waiter for the purpose of shooting the
lager up to the tailor without having
to carry Il Up &c him OK wait for the
tailor to run down.
I've shall have signals, nor sug-
gested the tailor. wen ! stamp my
foot on der floor vonce, dot ISIS Won
beer. Ven | stamp two times, 90 ISIS
two beers, und so on"
dot iss it," responded the saloon
keeper, with a smile that indicated
his approval. "Von stamp ISIS o pee
und two stamps ISIS two beers, nnd
yet on so long as you stamp"
The saloon keeper had not been
back in his bar room more than i've
minutes until he heard noise from
above. He tried to count the stamps,
but lost the count. He just loaded a
dozen glasses of beer on the dumb
waiter and sem them up. Then he
went upstairs with four glasses more.
AS he entered the tailor's door he was
surprised to find no one in the shop
but the tailor.
Volts der matter, Hermann" he
said. "Vot are you doing? Are you
Citing a barty?"
"Vot you mean? For Wy ISIS all dis
beer?" queried the tailor.
"For Wy ISIS all dose stamps if not for
beer?"
And Herman, to his financial terror,
suddenly realized that he had been
stamping on the floor. He was trying
on a new pair of shoes.
They didn't try to put the beer back
into the keg.

warnings to the Southern people of
their neglect to protect themselves.
against the gradual encroachments
being made by the negro race; di-
rected, aided and abetted by a GER

long since predicted that in the not

his control the entire cotton crop of

nature to obey their master. What
he commands they will do implicitly.
When they become producers of
seven or nine-tenths of the cotton

fishing in your paper, but if I do not
see it any more | will not be sur
prised, as I am uneducated. I am
farmer, but am unable to do any
manual labor as l was disabled by a
team running away with me last Au-
gust. l am in hearty accord with
your missionary views, and feel like
I could write more than enough for
a paper on this subject. [ want to
ask, what do we send money and min
listers to China for? Is it to civilize
the Chinaman, to ChristianiZe the
Chinaman? If so, is not there enough
right here around us in Georgia,
Florida and Alabama to use all of
our money at home where it belongs,
and not send it off to foreign cOun-
try to induce them to come to Ameri-
ca to commit such brutal murders as
the murder of Elsie Siegel. I can't
see what we want with the Cinnamon
over here; they do not make desir-
able citizens, they do not cause money
to be in circulation, they hoard it up
and live like brutes, then take it
back or send it home. 1t would be

COL. HUFF ON COMPULSORY
EDUCATION.

I have been waiting and watching,
and watching and waiting to see your
hand on compulsory education. This
weeks Jeffersonian is now before me
and, as usual, you are absolutely cor
rect in the position you take on this
great question. But, as you we'll say:
mo penalizing poverty" That is in
substance exactly what you do say
when you say, or suggest, that fight
should be made on the "villainous
School Book Trust" But the hardest
and best lick you strike is when you
say, Furnish the tools as we'll as the
workmen, and make the schools free. -
If it is right for the State to pay
teachers to instruct rich mems chill
dren, then it is right to pay for the
books to be used by children whose
parents are not able to buy them
There is nothing paternalistic about
this. 1t is democratic to the core.
l thank you for giving your public
endorsement to compulsory educa-
ton and for going few steps in ad-
vance of it's present-day advocates
If the child is in any sense the ward
of the State, then let the State see to
it that the ward is protected, and
that the poverty of the parent shall
be no bar to that protection.
I thank you for your strong en-
dorsement. The white people Of
Georgia have been sleeping over this
question long enough.

eigner out, for they do not benefit us
or our country. | wish | could make
an appeal to every individual when
the ministers appeal to them for for
eign missionary collections, and get
them to think like the admiral did
when he said to his army during the
Spanish war, Remember the Name
Remember the needs of your own
people here at home and take your
money and buy your wife dress or
a pair Of shoes or provision for the
home. We don't need the Chinaman
over here.

gave me two dollars; this I construed
as a direct intervention of Provi-
dence in behalf of the "Jeffs,' which
are doing a prophets office in expos
ing spiritual wickedness in high
places.
l have been conscious of the fact
all along that l might be Quitting
in, but, in the language of Mr.. Peck
sniff, sit is hereditary" and can't be
helped; our family have marchedand
fought with the 'forlorn hope for
generations, rescuing from the spoil
of war only self-respect; and deeming
it sufficient compensation to be able
to say in the end, 81 have fought a
good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith" Therefore, I
feel a conrad eship for and smypa-
thy with every other soldier of the
"forlorn hope" and when | find one
that is a sure marksman engaged in
picking off the enemy want, if | can,
to help mould the bullets-hence the
Quitting in
I note what you say relative to your
labors and losses. | am not surpris-
ed; it is the old, old story repeating
itself, with some variation in circum-
tasnce and degree, wherein the fight
er suffers hardship and loss, and if
success crowns his efforts his follow
ers offer him up as an early sacrifice
and proceed to wreck things general
ly. But it is something to find ones
self in the company of TIE patriots
and heroes of all ages, and to be
satisfied with ones life work when
it ends.
Your last harpoon has started the
whale (Missionaryism) to spouting
blood, I think. I thank you for your
kindly offer of the back numbers of
the magazine, but let my renewal
date from April and send the July
and August numbers as in due
course.
Yours fraternally,
