snnsrstitiona About HarsA

There have been at various periods all manner of queer superstfdons about hares, which would seem to tn- dIcate that the believers were them selves madder than any hare that ever gamboled in March. Its brains were believed to make chlldren's teeth come quickly and painlessly; those who ate its flesh became lovely and gracious for a week after; a waistcoat made of hare's skin strengthened the bodies both of young and old, etc. Even to- day there are those who take as an evil omen the crossing of the road be- fore them by this most innocent of creatures.-London Chronicle.

any importance has he introduced
and had passed since he has been in
Congress? What has he actually
done for rural credits and our farm
ers generally? And what do you
think Of his present bills before Con-
gress? Are they Of any importance,
and does he stand any shadow of
showing to have them passed? If
SO, would he likely turn and vote
against Sgem just as he d d the i'm
migration bill in the last session of
Congress? You know his record
along this line is very shady and
dark and he wont even try to explain
And for this reason our people have
no confidence in his efforts to food

ENTHUSIASTIC FOR HEATHEN.!!

Dear Sir: Will you allow me
space in your paper to take issue
with our T. E. w. on the foreign
mission subject? I think we can
spend little more money to good
advantage in that direction. We are
able to do more and l think it our
duty.
First, some of our little towns and
small cities have carnivals, or what
we poor country folks call protracted
shows. The managers of said shows
pay our little towns from $25 to
500 and upwards for the privilege
of running their gambling tents,
working their sleight-of-hand tricks
and fooling what little money out of
the fools that have any. They have
the hoochee-coochee dance and al
most nude white women perform the
most vulgar antics for our boys and
inhame their passions almost beyond
control. They have good music and
white man to talk up a crowd to
see the dance. The negro is invited
in--yes, he pays his dime to look on
white women undressed and acting
in the most vulgar manner conceiv-
able, which, of course inf1ames the
british passions of the negro and en-
cOurages rape and 1ynching They
also have the privilege Of spreading
the itch, smallpox and other very
loathsome diseases that sometimes
cost the poor unfortunate fellows
several hundred dollars to get re-
lieved Of.
Well, if the poor heather have the
~, of al ~;
you haven't made mention of it in
The Jeff. You see we can spare some
of these things and not hurt us
much; in fact, we ought to be willing
to make the sacrifice. If the poor
heather could get that seven-year
show-itch it would at least learn him
to scratch. That is what the negro
calls elephant each. He thinks all
the elephants have had it and that
is why he has no hair-he scratched
it all off with the each.
Now, Mr. Watson, come on across
and let's send all these dancers and
little dirty shows to our miss. Onaries.
1t will help to draw a crowd and may
interest the poor heather and knock
the m0nOtony off of his religion and
morality. It wouldn't take the Door
heather long to learn the boochee-
coochee dance; he would soon learn
to scratch; he would get free treat
ment for show diseases, and be very
crate 'ul So you see it would not
ho o--~-' two wears before he would be
as civil and religious as we are. So
come across, Mr.. Watson, and let's
send EN- along with all the advocates
of open doors for foreigners. Those
foreigners at Youngstown. Ohio. we're
very desirable citizens.
