JACK JOHNSON IN A NEW ROLE.

Jack Johnson, LII Arthur, the Big
Smoke, ETC., who sprang into black
prominence because of his pugilistic
prowess, is in Jail in Chicago, arrest
ed by the federal authorities charged
with violation of the white slave
avs. The incidents leading up to
Johnson's arrest show the champion
in a very unsavory light, and ap-
~parently the recent suicide of his
white wife did not sun him with
sorrow. The chances are his wife
had cause to wish to end her ex-
istence and life with the big black
animal.
Johnson Is becoming reeonciled to
life in prison. Sunday he led prayer
services in the bull pen of the county
jail, praying vigorously for all un-
fortunates. He also led the singing
with his mighty voice. Two services
were held in the jail-Methodist and
Catholic-and Johnson was prompt
at both. He was given an ovation
by other prisoners when he appeared,
but the jailers promptly suppressed
the cheering.

When Johnson was first taken to
Jail he was hooted, and Kissed and
finally removed to the negro section
to avert a riot. Now he is a prime
favorate, not only with all the
prisoners, but with the j~ailors. He
put in a day of reading the Bible, tie
life of Napoleon and Dickens novels
He tried to get a burly guard to ex-
ereise him with gloves in the after
noon, but the latter declined. So did
every other candidate approached on
the subject.
Johnson's attorneys are fastening
to Washington to lay ms case before
the United State supreme court. His
bond was fixed at $4,000 and his
mother offered to schedule real es-
tate worth $4,000 and Johnson also
offered $4,000 cash, both we're re-
fused. 1t is claimed this is illegal
after the amount of the bond has
been fixed.

MEN AND WOMEN.
CBenjamin Arstein.)

Although woman was created
from mans rib, she persistently re-
fuses to figure as a side issue.
A man reaches the ecstacy of hap
piness when he wins a woman's hand,
but woman is ~contented when she
has him twisted around her little
finger.
No woman is SO narrow-minded as
to leave no room for suspicion.
No man is so dull that he can't be
utilized as a tool by a bright woman.
A married woman's best hopes are
that her worst suspicious will be
confirmed.
Age tells on a man when it would
not dare even whisper about a
woman.
The fiction most dear to woman's
heart is not of the sort supplied by
her husband.
The MAI who thinks he knows a
woman like a book usually discovers
uncut leaves.
The man who is obliged to make a
living by his humor often finds him
self at his wits end.

at large seems to be losing its power.
The Journal of the American Medi-

may come when every man to whom
the life and safety of others are en-
trusted may be expected or even re-
CURED to be as abstemious as ball
players and railway employees.

THE TABOO ON

The use of alcohol is receiving

TWO GHOSTS.

TWO GHOSTS.
ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
Two dead men boarded a spectral
ship
In the astral Port of Space.
On that ghost-flled barque they met
in the dark,
And halted, face to face.
Now whittier away?" called one of
the Ghosts.
This ship sets sail for Earth.
On the astral plane you must remain,
Where the newly dead have birth"
But l could not stay, and l would
not stay"
The other Ghost replied;
Il must hurry back to the old Earth
track
And stand at my loved ones side.
she weeps for me in her lonely
room,
In the land from whence | came.
Oh, stow me away in this ship, l
pray,
For | hear her call my name"
You must not go. and you shall
not CO."
The first Ghost cried in wrath.
Your work is planned In the astral
land,
And a guide will show you the
path"
But the one | love-" Il loved her,
too
The first Ghost stood and cried.
And years on years l waited here,
Yea, waited till you died.
For ! would not come between o
two,
Nor shadow her joy with fear;
But mine is the right, l claim this
night,
TO visit the Earthly sphere.
For you are dead and / am dead,
And you had her long-so long.
And to look on the grace of her
worshipped face,
All, o it can do no wrong.
Il am fettered to Earth by love of
her.
And hers is the spell divine
That a help me rise to the realm
that lies
Just over the astral line.
Il have kept to the law of God and
man;
] have suffered and made no
moan;
Now my little share of joy / swear
l will have-and have it alone"
A skeleton crew the anchor drew,
And the ship from the port swung
free.
With a muffled clang the ghost bell
rang,
And the boat sailed out to sea.
And n Ghost stood on the deck
and laughed,
AS only a glad ghost can,
While a swooning soul was dragged
to his goal,
To work out the astral span.
And a woman wept and prayed ere
she slept
For a dream to ease her pain.
But she dreamed. instead, of a man
long dead,
Who had loved her all in vain.
Smart Set.

The African Elephant.

FROM I1e New Ofk sun.
The elephant in enormous numbers still
foams over large parts of Africa. For
generations to come he may be comlmer-
cially important for the ivory he supplies
and for the food he affords to many tribes
that relish his flesh. We do not know yet
whether it will ever be possible to make
him thoroughly useful as a draught ami
mai and luggage carrier. The earnest eff
forts of the last 10 years to tame and
make him a good domestic animal have
not been largely rewarded. From all we
know of his history he seems doomed to
determination unless he can be made use
full, like the indian elephant, the horse
and the on, for domestic purposes.
The African elephant has a right to his
name, for there is no proof that the Asian
variety ever lived in Africa. 1t has been
conjectured that the Indian elephant
might have crossed the isthmus of Suez
ana populated the mountain region OF
north Africa, where elephants within his
toric times have been very numerous. The
Greek and Roman historians wrote of ele-
plants there, and a little before the Chris
tian era as many as 100 of them were
often exhibited at one time in the Roman
circus. There is proof, however. that these
animals were of the African variety. The
elephan head amp on many medals
and coins in variably had the large ears
and the cranial peculiarities which SO
plainly differentiate the African from the
Asian species. Many petroglphs and pic
lures OH the rock walls of the Atlas
mountains strikingly depict the character
istics of the African animal. The wild
herders Of the Atlas mountains drew their
elephant as they say him. and it was as
striking a picture of the African variety
Of today al the rock drawings of the
bushmen which SO faithfully outline the
animals Of the kaiahari desert.
The elephant no longer exists in north
Africa, because he has been exterminated
by man. w factors control the distri-
button of elephants in Africa and the size
Of their herds. Ont is the abundance or
the scarcity Of the plants or which they
live, the other is the presence or the alb
sence Of man. The whites want the ele-
plant for his ivory, and the blacks for his
flesh. The elephant seeks new stamping
grounds IL either the whites or the blacks
become uncomfortably numerous.

NEW YEARS THOUGHTS
MAYOR w. j. eAYNoR,
In New York World.

There is less misery i'm this world than
some miserable people think. Misery
seems to be happiness to some people. IL
they happend to be without some mental
worry or misery they think they are sick.
Every one is happy in some way.
The predominant feeling in the world
is one of happiness. We often imagine
that if this or that happened to us, or if
We met With some accident. or We're sick.
we would not be happy. But the one who
mas lost a leg or an arm, or even his voice.
or his hearing. or his eyesight. is gener-
ally happy. And this is the happy sea-
son of the year.
Nothing makes us so happy as to read
the account in Luke's gospel of the birth
OF Jesus. 1t thrills us. The picture of the
Child In the manger with the cattle look
Ing on never leaves the mind from child
hood up.
We who were children in the country
saw the COW and the OK and the manRer.
and Jesus and all. We lived with the cat
tie and loved them. That Jesus was born
among them made us feel that He was
really one of us. 1t is the central point
OF democracy in the world.
Some are fond of picturing Infants born
In castles and with great SURROUNDINGS
But this picture of Jesus born among the
cattle In a manager il the one which
reaches every human heart, high and low.
Humanity everywhere responds to it.
And in the midst of this citation Of soul
over the birth of Jesus comes the begin
ming OF the new year. We are looking on
the briEh side of everything, and are able
to begin the new year we'll.
We arc filled with good Intentions and
are ready to make promises for our fu-
ture conduct. But We have to keep re-
newing these promises. In fact we have
to renew them every morning in order to
accomplish much.
But II We start with a strong impulse
we are likely to keep IT up.
Christmas and New Years were great
days in the country when I was a how
The greeting was Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year" everywhere 1t was
nothing but good will to everybody.
And then later on came Easter. The
birth OF Jesus and the day OF His resur-
rection are the greatest days in the wear
The heart is filled with Joy In spIta Of
ones self. With many Easter ia a sort
of renewed Christmas. and It was 40 when
l wes q boy, although there were some
who thought very little OF either Christ
mas or Easter.
Where I lived the winter. had hardly
gone at Easter. But the. thawinx snow
the singing OF the hens. the cows lickinr
themselves and one another in the ham
yard sun. the sharp crack OF the b,rnt-
ing trees in the woods. and MANY nthar
signs. told US that the winter VA nasa-
Ing and the spring arriving. Those ver.
great lays.

to pay for everything far higher prices
than the natives are charged: or, in
other words, that because they are
foreigners they are being fleeced. But
q glance at the social conditions by
which the people have been educated
would reeves the curious fact that
throughout Japan's long period of iso-
iation 1t was an accepted principle that
the rich must live for the sake of the
poor, and prices have always been
based upon the purchasers rank in So
ciety or upon his presumed ability to
pay.
