VIII Revive GaIena

The old mining camp of Galena, mid
way between Battle Mountain and
Bannock, is to be revived by a French
syndicate which has taken over the
White and Shiloh mines, according to
the Battle Mountain Herald. The
White and Shiloh produced some mil
lions of high-grade silver-lead ores in
the early days. Application of modern
methods of mining and treatment to
the large bodies of ore of lower grade
which was left untouched by the early
operators will, it is believed, bring
profitable results.

rYRANr LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM.

Leopold, king of Belgium, who re-
Gently underwent an operation and
is still very i'll, is making a desper-
ate fight for life-a life so full. of
his evil doings that it is a disgrace
to the entire world. He is afraid of
death, that which he has Sanctioned
and allowed his henchmen to in
lict upon the poor, helpless natives
in his African possessions, who were
unable to perform their impossible
tasks in gathering rubber. The pros
pect of dying affrights this old lib
ertine and wholesale murderer. He
does not want to die, and shudders
like the craven he is at the POSSIBLE
ity of soon being required to answer
at the bar of God for the outrageous
deeds of his worse than worthless
life. Standing in the shadow of
death, this inhuman wretch covers
before his crimes; for minimize
them how he may by whatever pre-
tense or excuse of justification, they
loom up ghostlike and hideous to
haunt his bewildered and crime
stained soul. No excuse, consid-
cred as human, can do what this man
has done and then face death and its
subsequent and inevitable account
ability calmly.
The world has had its Nero and it's
Caligula, products of a remote and
heather civilization, but their inhu-
manities pale when compared with
the monstrosities and %atrocious cru
elites of this unjustifable pretense
for a man, Leopold, king Of Belgium.
While there is no justification for
the deeds Of the Roman tyrants, even
in those distant times, yet there is
much less excuse for the unspeaka-
bic meanness and b~arbarities of this
m0nstrous old criminal, living in the
opening years Of the twentieth cen
fury with all OF its refining influences
of Christian civilization.
The thought is drunk or ill-con-
ceived that links the name of Leopold
with anything save that of the most
bloody and most inhuman sayagery.
He is a blot, a stain on the world,
an evaporation and an aggrayation,
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord,
I will repay, and it is certain he will

CHRISTMAS IN THE COUNTRY,
BY L. U. Chambers.

Some years ago more than TWEEN
ty thousand people gathered in the
old Castle Garden, New York, to hear
Jenny Lind sing some of the noted
compositions of Beethoven, Handel,
and other music composers. AS they
went into raptures over these at
length the Swedish nightingale
thought of her home, paused and
seemed to fold her wings for a high
er fight. AS she did this, she be-
gan with deep emotion to pour forth
Home, Sweet Home" The audi
ence could not stand this song. An
uproar of applause stopped the mu-
sic. Tears gushed forth from the
eyes Of the thousands that listened
to it as rain from a nimbus cloud.
Beethoven, Handel and all others
we're forgotten, and John Howard
Payne triumphed over the great
masters of song, as s'Home, Sweet
Home came again, seemingly from
heaven, almost angelic.
What was the charm that lay con-
cealed in that song? The answer is
this: Next to religion, the deepest
sentiment in the human soul is that
of the home affection, and every
heart vibrates to this theme. No
earthly being can forget his home.

GREATEST JUMPS IN THE BUSI
NESS.
This Official Worked in Negro League
in Texas.

Baseball scribes of late have been
busying themselves with accounts of
the greatest plays they ever saw,
but Tip Wright in the Detroit Times
varies the monotony by telling of
the greatest umpire. This official
happened to be off color, viewed
from the usual supposed require
ments, but that his work was stellar
is witnessed by the following mar
rative:
"a couple of years ago Texas
boosted of or stood for, I don't know
which, a baseball league composed
of Negroes-players and officials all
being Philippians. The organization
may still be in existence for aught /
know, or it may have gone where the
woodbine twineth, which would be a
shame, for it as about the only thing
that could keep Texans in good hui
NOR when the boil weevil was work
ing.
IF the league depended upon the
patronage of its own people for sup
port it would have died of hamilton,
but with a sense of humor the white
folks coughed up their two+bit pieces
to watch the comedy, and never
failed to get more than their moneys
worth.
"The organization had one charac-
ter, an umpire, who invariably wore
a long, ~light-colored linen buster,
when rendering decisions. This gar
ment, buttoned tight around the neck
and split full length up the back,
was an object of much ridicule and
a target for shafts Of near-wit, as it's
wearer tore around the diamond, try
ing to keep track of the plays.
"Ill say one thing for that umpire,
he vas as full of good intentions as
a tax return, and what he lacked in
dignity he made up in willingness.
"It was a sight for tired eyes to
see this jumps work. His method,
to say the least, was original and eff
fective. With a runner on base and
the ball hit, he'd decide quick as a
flash upon which man the play would
be made, and would light out for the
base on the third speed, the tails of
his buster stretching out behind like
the wash on a windy day.
"He always finished the last few
yards on his wishbone, throwing him
self fiat and sliding into the bag with
the runner, to get a better view of
he play and render mis- decision ac-
cording to facts. Not much more dig
nified, perhaps, than a pair Of spoons
picked up by a searchlight, but for
effect it had supreme court decision
beaten to a whisper"
