TOO MUCH FOR THE LAWYER
Now Michigan Congressman, Test-
flying ~ Lumber Expert, s''enesd
NJ the Noisy Attorney.

There II certain representative In
congress from Michigan who was once
summoned a. witness in case being
tried in Saginaw. the summons being
based on his expert knowledge OF the
lumber business. 1t appears that the
whole case hinged on whether or not
merchantable lumber had been sup
piled certain firm. as set forth IN Its
contract with the party o; the sec
ond part.
Representing the opposition there
appeared a very vociferous lawyer
who made up In noise what he lacked
In argument He would shout and
roar and pound the table in front OF
him like an auctioneer.
What" demanded the counsel IN
stentortan tones Of the witness, what
do you regard are merchandise
1umber?"
Lumber that may be sold at q
profit" replied the imperturbable wit
ness. ~. 49,. y
The lawyer pounded the table again,
strutting about, shouting a good deal
more, and finally came back at the
witness In this wise:
And what, sir, would you regard as
merchantable grain?"
Fl don't know anything about
grain" u.s..
"Ah, you don't, you don't. eh!
Well, then. what about merchantable
fruit?"
"Nor fruit. I am a lumberman."
Come, now. my dear sir. As to
slabs and culls-should you say that
they were merchantable?
They are products of the mills"
"Oh, ho!" fairly yelled this law.
yer this time Can you tell the honor
able court whether you have any ideas
at all about any kind Of merchantable
goods7"
"Oh, yes" replied the redoubtable
witness. "A lawyer, for example. who
tries his case with his brains-I
should call him a merchantable law
per; but the one who tries his case
with his mouth and HE hands and
feet, should call him a cull!'
That closed the REORGANIZATION

negroe. have lost all sympathies with
their people, and In some cases they
are the worst foes Of their race,
1.-THE recognition of the few negroes
in Jamaica by the white man is more
polite than humane. An extract from
an article in the New York Herald
called The White Mans Burden at
Home dated May 30. 1905. which re-
cords the words Of Sir Sydney oliver,
X. c. M. g., the present governor OF
Jamaica, and at the time published
colonial secretary of the island. might
serve to illustrate the statement just
N entioned. In the article the goveE
nor says The recognition OF the mu-
latto race, socially and politically as
equal with the white and the cordlal
welcome Of colored mex and women
into all avenues of trades and proies'
sions have created mutual bond De-
tween the all-negro and the pure
white races, and this bond saves the
colony from the distinct cleavage ana
consequent friction which would ex'
list, Another statement Of the COVER
nor, that might be worthy to mention,
is this: The white Jamaican. whether
foreign born or Creole, has a preju'
dice which is scarcely to be differen'
tiated from that Of the American ne
gro. But 1t Is a prejudice operative
only in so far as the colored man is
individually inferior to the white man
in capacity and achievement. The
latter being equal. however, or re-
garded as equal, they meet upon
terms of apparent equality.

DR.. Washington clearly shows that
the negroes are not dying out. His
analysis of tho preliminary statement
issued by the director Of the census is
most convincing. The negroes have
increased II per cent. during the last
decade while the white people have in
creased about IL per cent. The compar-
ison may be advantageous to the
negro when viewed as comparison
simply, but much of this disadvantage
disappears when the large number Of
white immigrants and their natural in
crease for the decade is considered.
Making all suitable deductions, it will
not be found that the native whites ex-
elusive of the immigrant have in
creased in numbers disproportionately
with the negro. So far the showing Ia
good. But when 1t comes; to the sum
ming up Of totals for the nation the
negro is found to be decreasing rath-
er than an increasing element. This
fact will assuredly rob many of our
orators of their thunder and may
eventually solve all the negro's prob.
lens by the engulfing power of over
whelming numbers. The negro must
get busyNif he would keep his numeri-
cal place in American life.-Southern

At what particular times the explo.

the use Of explosives as medicines
were given to the London Daily Mirror

lone also would he ill-advised to
try DIR. Burwinkel's recipe for sea-

tor.
THE explosiveness of nitroglvcerine
may be tested by placing q thin layer
of the substance on a hard surface and
striking 1t with a hammer. A tre-
mendous explosion will ensue.
AT the present time the public
would have great difficulty In buying
these explosives.
I'm the future. however. II their
medicinal value is found to be excep-
tionally good, 1t may be possible to
obtain doses Of the explosives in the
form Of cachous or pills.
"A patient suffering from sea -sick-
ness would after a weeks diet of nj
troglycerine have sufficient explosive
in him to blow up a moderate-sized
house.
But I think hat once mixed with
water the nit%roglycerine inside the
body would be as harmless as treacle
so far as explosives are concerned.
THE only danger would be in safe
~ consuming the substance. Acting
as a violent irritant poison to the
stomach. the nitroglycerine. as DIR.
Burwinkel has found. would probably
counteract the pains Of sea-sickness."
