NO STEEL TIES FOR ACTOR.
Tragedan Comes Forward with Griev-
ance for Which Real Sympathy
Will Be Felt.

He had long hair and it was black,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. His
voice was heavy, so heavy that at
times it rumbled.
Have the common people any
r-r-lghts?" he asked
"a few" the editor admitted
And the uncommon people-how
about them?"
The editor adroitly parted the
question.
State your grievance" he said.
The stranger assumed an impressive
pose
81 am an actor" he announced,
and while I am very busy man, I
find time to read the daily journals.
In your sheet this morning, sir, |
noted the statement that certain rail
roads are to adopt electricity as mo-
tive power. In this connection, they
will use steel ties instead of wooden
ones. These steel ties, | am informed,
are apt to carry powerful electric cur
rents. There are times, sir, when,
through lack of financial appreciation,
actors are forced to use the railroads
but not the ears. l am tragedian,
sir have played Hamlet and Lear.
Do you think it right for soulless cor
porations to force a Hamlet or a Lear
to dance frantic mazurka, as it We're,
from one electric-charged tie to anoth-
er? Can these corporations do this un-
just thing?"
I'D like to see EN- try it." said the

Couldn't Place Horace.

They say that Horace wrote his
poems in praise of wine,' the school
teacher said to the Billville citizen.
Who? Horace Greedy? Never
knowed he writ poetry
mo, no-the other Horace, who
comes from antiquity"
Never hearn tell of him, n'er the
place he come from; but it's my opin-
ion, whoever he wuz, that he had
mighty little to do to be wastin' words
on wine, when the country has more
corn Ticker tina it kin consume
convenient; but, come ter think of
it, the less said bout corn, new or
old, in the north Georgy region, the
better. The blamed OIL government is
mighty watchful! '-Atlarta Constitu-

In Judge Cann's Bitter Root "reminiscences y which
appeared in the P last Sunday he spoke OF the Indian
in that section being the friend
Debauching Women of the white and continued so
Breeds Trouble. until the bad white went in
among them and sold them whskey
and debauched their women and while he does not say
in many words yet he leaves the inference that the
Indians from that time on became the enemies of the
white man. It is thus when stronger people by
force and violence debauches the folk of weaker
people, If the black of the South commits rape
the white it due largely to the fact that the
white man takes iendsh delight in debauching the women
folk of the black It is because the white
duces and rapes every young coored girl that it is pos
sble for him to do If there is friction between
the whites and blacks of the South than in former
years it is due to the fact that the white is de-
bauching every black that it possible for him
to do and black play even by rapng few white
This may be Gods way in settling this much
mooted race question in the United States for certain

An odd form Of animal contest
used to be practiced by Office clerks
in London some years ago. 1t was
known as grub racing, and nearly
every younger clerk had his stable
of racers. These worms were bred
in nuts or apples and carefully sta
bled between two walnut shells.
They were selected by placing them
in the center of piece of paper,
and the one that proved most adept
in making a speedy bee line to the
edge of the paper was matched
against the pick Of rival stable.
Some of the fastest could not be in
duced to travel in a straight line.
In racing parlance, they bolted and
were bad betting propositions. But
when two came together that show
ed disposition to run straight and
true the betting on the result was
lively enough to stir up the anti
gambling enthusiasts.-New York

THE COLORADO DESERT.

How Sound Carries and the Way Mi
RACES Come and Go.
Talk about wireless telephones!
The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line. According
to travellers in that neck of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind of telephone, with or
without wires, at least up to GER
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly if there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall kessler in
the Travel Magazine The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the Their
mometer registering not far below
the hundred mark. We awake,
shivering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as a point of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing, Tin green alfalfa, sheets of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward, topple over
and stand on their heads, their un-
wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into big round ball Of
dazzling brilliance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such an
unseemly attitude by the broad
light of day, quickly re-.2':.e I cir
normal position, while all the stark
landscapestiffens into unstirring en-
durance of the garish light and
blazing heat of the desert sun. The
mirage is gone like bubble. Only
the gray desert remains.

THE TRIBUNE is indebted to
Senator W B. Hepburn for one OF
the large new maps of Idaho, the
first edition of which has just been
put out by the government. Org
inal or the more correct geographi-
cal names are used IN most
instances to designate the lakes
and streams; for instance, Mud
lake, Twin lakes, and Tesemlnl
lake are the names adopted in
place of Sucker lake, Fish lake
and Spirit lake, respectively. The
name Harlem, however, appears
where Hauser should be, but this
is apparently an error and may be
corrected in the second edition OF
the map. The map shows all the
new railroads of the state and
gives the boundaries of not only
the counties and national forests
but also of the land districts.
