Money isn't always needed to secure

There's the snob, 'frinstance, who can
be purchased without money and with

to make personal call on the snob and
emphasize the opinion that he is a man
of importance whose influence will be
necessary in carrying the county. Then

HE WON THE CROWN.
The Ancient Story of the "eIoody Hand
of Ulster"

of Ulster"
The emblem of the Ulster steamship
line is a huge red hand, from the
wrist of which is flowing drops OF
blood. An official of one of the YES
sells of the line gave this explanation
of the queer device:
1T was in the early days of Ireland,
when James |. was king and when
Ireland was divided into four prov
inces, that the king Of Ulster died.
He had two sons, who were devoted
to each other and who at the time Of
their fathers death were on the isle OF
Aaron, Scotland. In those days the
eldest son did not always succeed the
father on the throne.
"They were brave lads, these two
sons of the old king, and upon learn
ing of the death of their father each
planned to race across the channel and
be the first to place his hand upon the
soil of Antrim and thus become king
of all the north.
with eight men each they started
off from Mullcantry On nearing the
shores of the isles the youngest prince,
whose name was Neill, seeing that his
brother was in a fair way to become
king, drew his sword, placed his left
hand on the side of the boat and cut it
off at the wrist.
Quickly seizhg the dripping hand,
be threw it on shore and thus won the
crown. Since that time, 1t is told, the
bloody hand of Ulster has led to vic
tory on many hard fought field as
emblem on the shields of the young
king and his followers. listers name,
whether in trade or war or sport or
on a steamship line, is known by this
sign."-Philadelphia North American.

There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages Of the past
The Hindoo code, compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the max
ing Of war with cannon and guns OF
any kind Of firearms. Quintus Curtius
informs US that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons in Asia, and
Philostratus says that Alexander's con
quests were arrested by the use OF
gunpowder. 1t is also written that

BROWARD'S VICTORY<
{ As Viewed by y
{ Florida Editors.

II is not that Mr. Broward is a stalwart
figure, that he is of good character, that
he began the drainage of the Everglades;
not that he has rendered worthy service
to the people as public servant that he
has been thus honored These consid-
erationS had weight, TO be sure, but the
significant thing-the one thought worth
while is, that the contest was made be-
tween the money power on the one
hand and the people on the other-and
the people have asserted themselves in
sufficient numbers to establish their
right to their own office. They have
taken the office away from the money
power and have presented it to Broward.
Ii is for Broward to prove his right and
title to it as a worthy servant. If he
serves the people truly and well-not
the people of his own state alone, but the
people of his country-it will be diff
cult task TO unseat him.-Miami Me-

khartum.

Khartum owes its existence to an
oriental form Of treachery. When
Khedive Mohammed Ali invaded the
Sudan IN 1920 he marched triumph
antly to Shendi. where his troops were
entertained at a banquet by the SUBJ
missive natives. But while the khe-
dives high officials were seated at the
feast they shared the fate of the
viands and were themselves reduced
to funeral baked meats. Full Of fury.
the army fell on Shendi and demol-
ished it. Marching south. the invaders
reached the junction Of the Blue Nile
and White Nile. With the conquer
or's instinct they recognized that the
strip Of land, with its few tishermen's
huts of straw, formed ideal strategical
headquarters, so Khartum finally grew
into the most sensitive part OF the
Sudan organism.

appearance. A few fist marks and
other decorations were sprinkled over
the offenders face and person, which
he took as souvenirs in haSty depar-
ture. He had not proceeded far on his
way home, when he heard hurrying
footsteps behind him. Obviously, it
was the wronged one pursuing him
with a Ratchet. The pursued quick
ened his pace, but the other gained on
him every second. the rage in his heart
lending length to his legs and breadth
to his lungs, it seemed The run
lasted until the man in the lead
reached the state house steps, and
there he stumbled and went down. He
knew the foe would be upon him be-
fore he could get up and start again;
so he shut his eyes and waited for the
end. No time for repentance-just a
brief farewell to carnal joys and a des-
perate resolve to die game. He felt
the stream, but he experienced none
of the 'hankering'' of the pious pill
grim for the glories of the farther
shore. Then suddenly a great light
broke when he heard the voice of the
pal he took with him for his visit and
had forgotten in the rush, who was
chuckling in his ear, "Well, old man,
