THE LODGE GOAT.

A man living at Upton, Ind, re-
Gently joined secret order and suf-
fered such bruises, decorations and other
injuries in an attempt to ride the I'M
ruly and nimble goat that he has sued
the lodge for damages to the extent of
$4,000, which he thinks is about the right
sum to serve as balm for his physical suf-
fering and mental anguish The court
mas ruled that he must describe in de-
tails the stunts of the lodge goat and how
it bounced, bucked and otherwise mall
treated him.
But the members of the lodge are fight
ing earnestly against the proposition to
thus expose the secret rites of tine order !;
hence the legal battle promises to be an
interesting one. 1t may be that in this
particular case the goat which had a
star part in the initiation of the candi-
date was unusually aggressive and violent
If this is true, the lodge; "for the good
of the ORDER" should acquire a new goat
or see that the ends of the one it now
possesses are trimmed down and safely
padded.
AS a rule, when a man announces
his desire to join a secret order, one of
the specialties of which is riding the
goat he by the same token indicates a
willingness to accept without protest what
ever the goat hands out to him. 1t is
true that none save the elect know the con-
dition of the animal which profane eyes
are not permitted to gaze upon, or how
it is going to perform. But that the av-
erage mystic bumper of a lodge is a
ger.tle, humane and considerate beast,
is evidenced by the fact that hundreds of
thousands of worthy men have encoun-
tered the animal while travelling "a rough
and rugged road" without suffering any
injury. Therefore, it is difficult to
Sccount for the malevolent disposition
displayed by the goat that crippled the
neophyte of Upton, Indiana.
If the damage wrought by the
goat in his case was accidental and
without malice aforethought, the pro-
test of the lodge members against the
secret processes of their order being
dragged into the limelight should be sus-
tanned, as it probably will be.-Daily

A TERRIBLE STORY.

]. w. Brissey, who was in the city over
Sunday visiting relatives, tells story
of terrible situation in Chicago.
He says that recently five girls
were dismissed from Marshall Fields
big retail store there, with that most
awful disease, leprosy. The management
gave the girls $1,000 piece, and placed
them in sanitarium in Michigan, where
they BE taking treatment for the disease.
1t is said that the girls that were
afflicted, were working in the false hair
department. and that they contracted the
disease from hair that had been imported
from China This hair is said to me very
long and unusually beautiful, but the
places from which it is taken are such
that no self-respecting woman would care
to hear the story.
One or two other big stores have had
the same trouble, and have also dismissed
the girls. The papers have been prevail
ed on not to print the news of this awful
trouble In this time of large coiffureS
it is hard to say how many women will
be afflicted.-Attica (Ind.) Ledger.

HE WANTS HUMAN BLOOD.

DIR. John Darlington, of Yazoo City,.
member of the state board of health, and
ore of the foremost physicians in Missis-
sippi, has appealed to the medical pro-
fession OF aid him in making what will
doubtless be a very important expert
ment in case he is able to secure the human
material desired
Briefly stated, DR.. Darlington desires
to get into communication with persons
who have had pellegra and completely
recovered from the disease. From this.
list he hopes to induce some person to yield
up sufficient blood for TRANSMISSION pro-
cess, and he has published an advertise
ment offering to pay for the human
fluid that he will transfuse into the
veins and arteries of a charity patient
now under treatment at Yazoo City.
81 am willing to pay any former
pellegra patient who will offer the blood,
says DR.. Darlington, "but | am unable
to say Just what it will be worth. How
ever, that can be arranged privately. The
most important thing is to find the per-
son who will make the sacrifice of the
desired quantity of blood, either for pay
or in a spirit of human kindness. The
operation will be harmless, and any ply
sician who knows of pellegra patient
who has completely recovered, and who
will consent to furnish bblood for this
patient, 1 will be greatly obliged if he
will furnish me the name and address,

COSTS MORE TO DIE.

1t even costs you more to die these
days.
Ten years ago, you could contract
a nice case of fever, go to hospital,
receive medical attention, be nursed,
die and be buried for about ST. So Now
since the trusts, have pushed up the price
of everything, it will cost you about
$500 or S22s to die and be buried.
The trusts are making money out of the
increases in price of death and burial,
if what doctors, nurses and undertakes
say is correct.
Cofirs and graves have increased
in price almost so per cent in the last
10 years. Lumber, silks, imported woods
and other articles, many of them imported,
have almost trebled in price because OF the
tariff. Undertakes say that trusts are reap
ing rich harvest in dollars because of
the increase.
And, because of the increased cost
Of living, many nurses and physicians
have boosted their scale Of fees.
A further increase is expected. e

A TARDY HONOR.

1t is a truth as old as the hills that
those who most deserve homage are
generally the last to receive it. And
SO it has been with the women of the
Confederacy, whom the legislature of
the state of Mississippi now proposes
to honor. We will not say that the
women of the confederacy have not
received homage, but it is high time that
some concrete expression of this feeling
be erected.
Brave men ard true they were who
marched to the front in '6I, but there
were many hearts remaining which
burned for the men who were fighting
the battles of the confereracy, and whose
words and acts of devotion carried these
men through the dark days of the war
and those darker days of the reconstruction
period. Then there were those who braved
the dangers of the battlefields and nursed
spun instead of silks and satins which they
had worn; and all this without muir
muir. -
And these are the women the legisla-
ture proposes to honor. We hardly think
there is man, with the possible excep-
ton of Senator Hepburn, throughout this
broad land who would raise a voice in
protest against this measure Many years
have passed since the heroism of these
women became the talk of the civilized
world, and the honor which is about to
be conferred was due many years ago.
There should be no delay now, and al
though their fame will live as long as
there is nation, they should be COM
memorated in brass and stone which will
live for many generations to ome.-Biloxi

70 thread their way through the labyrinths
of the various heavenly bodies without
butting into them, it is likely that they
will continue to do SO. Ii is well known
that comets have been more or less divert
ed from their courses by the planets
of our system, showing that the comets are
inferior to them in weight and solidity.
Our moon, which was once part of
our globe, and was thrown off by con-
vulsion early in its history, leaving a
big hole into which the water flowed,
making the Pacific Ocean, is made of the
same material as our earth, and is some
1000 miles in diameter, or one-fourth that
of our world The moon would stand
pretty good jolt from comet, but if
the wanderer should be big and solid
and heavy enough to fly away with our
moon, we would experience a most serious
loss. Those fine moonlight nights to
which we are accustomed would be lost
to us forever, or for seventy-five years
at least, when Halley's comet, REINFORCED
by our former moon would shine on us
again for a few weeks.
But why should the comet rob us of
our only moon when there are planets that
have from four to six, while Saturn has
eight? They could well afford to lose
one, while we cannot But there is no
need of being afraid of losing our moon.
1t will doubtless continue to shine on
lovers and others who need it for ages to
come. There are thousands of comets,
perhaps millions, wandering in space, and,
in all probability, they are attending to
their own business, with no disposition
or design to interfere with ours.-New Or

SLANDERING THE SOUTH.

Our attention has been called to re-
cent editorial article in the Los Angeles
Times, under the caption "Barbarous
United States" in which it is virtually
charged that peonage and slavery openly
exist in the south. We quote from it the
following characteristic sentence:
Still in Alabama, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and other southern states white
men are held in bondage every bit as
ruthless as that alleged to rule in certain
districts of Mexico; and the local author
tiles aid in covering up the facts from a
public that wakes indignant over the
conditions of foreign country.
The charge is so badly and laughably
false that it would not be worth while
to dignity it with denial were it not
calculated possibly to mislead the pre-
JUDGE uniformed Californians under
whose eyes it may chance to fall. The
shadow or color of plausibility is prob
ably found in the reports of the peonage
hunters under the Roosevelt administration
who spread broadcast stories of wholesale
peonage in one or two southern states, in
stituted number of prosecutions In the
I Federal courts and in the great majority
of cases failed to support their charges
with proof. There were one or two con-
victions in Florida, as we remember if.
The star peonage case in MISSISSIPPI
broke down. miseraDly, as we recall IT.
We do not recall single successful case
in Louisiana, nor any notable prosecution.
In the few cases brought to trail over tie
south, is usually developed that the in
vestgators had been deceived by witnesses
wholly irresponsible.
!. So far as Louisiana and Mississippi
abe concerned, the charges may be de-
nounced as sanderous. If the citizens
of the other states involved consider it
worth while they may refuse them, we
! dare say, without trouble. In one or two
states the convict leasing system still
exists, unfortunately, and unfortunately
leads to occasional abuse which are, how
ever neither concealed nor condoned eth
err by the authorities or the citizens. We
grant that the system of convict leasing
is bad and have advocated its abolish
ment. Louisiana destroyed it years ago
and has substituted a penal system that
has been widely praised. Mississippi has
also abolished the convict leasing plan
and employs its state prisoners on convice
farms under intelligent and humane di-
rection. So far as these two states are
concerned, therefore, the charge Of the
California newspaper may not even be
bolstered by exaggerated stories of bru-
talities practiced by convict lessers. The
attack is groundless and is WIDELY
gratitutious,. whether it proceeds from
malice or ignorance Times Democrat.

CLOSING PARAGRAPH OF WASH
INGTONS FAREWELL ADDRESS.

Though in reviewing the incidents Of
my administration | am unconscious of
intentional error, / am nevertheless too
sensible of my defects not to think it
probable that l may have committed
many errors. Whatever they may be,
I fervently beseech the Almighty to
avert or mitigate the evils to which they
NAV tend. | shall also carry with me
the hope that my country will never
cease to view them with indulgence, and
that, after forty-five years of my life
dedicated to its service with an upright
zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities
will be consigned to oblivion as myself
must soon be to the mansions of rest.
RELYING on its kindness in this as in other
things and actuated by that fervent love
toward it which is so natural to q man
who views In it the native soil of himself
and his progenitors for several genera
tons, anticipate with pleasing expec-
tation that retreat in which l promise
myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet
enjoymen of partaking, in the midst OF
nv fellow citizens, the benign influence
of good laws under a free government,
the ever favorite object Of my heart and
the happy reward, as / trust, of our mu-
tual cares, labors and dangers.
