slavery" in South America.

Timid, cringing, taking, off his hat
respectfully to every white man he
meets, the Indian of the west coast
of South America is a pitiable OBJ
ject, says World Outlook.
In the cities he shares with the
burro the tonor of being everybody's
burden bearer. No one but an Indian
will be seen with even the smallest
package and you can engage descend
ant of the children Of the SUM- to
carry home anything from half a
pound of tea to 200-pound trunk. You
pay him what you will, he dares not
chatter about price with a white man.
On the great plantations and In the
mines the Indian is a virtual slave.
There is no free agricultural labor on
the west coast. Four days a week,
the peon must work for the great land
holders at the munificent wage of ten
cents day. The rest of the time he
may devote to his own acre or two
which must feed and clothe his
family.

Every few seconds we wink both our
evelids at once, although not purpose
Iy. If we stop winking, our eyes be
come uncomfortable and gradually
cease TO work as they should. When
the eye is open the front of it is ex.
posed to dirt aud dust and is apt to
become so dry that a painful singing
sensation results or would do so if con.
slant moisture were not provided to
cleanse and soothe the tissues. AS a
matter of fact, each time we wink we
wash the eye. says Popular Science
Monthly. Up above each eye is tiny
water bag called the tear gland, and
all the time we are awake it makes
tears. When the front of the eye feels
itself becoming a little too dry OF
dusty a communication is sent for
a supply of moisture. The eyelid then
comes down with a tear inside it to
WISH clean the front of the eye. This
is the most gentle and perfect wash
ing in the world.

A writer in an English newspaper Is
OutspOken in demanding that the n.y.
phenated designation of Apglo-Saxon
he kicked out of use as misleading and
erroneous term because. he says,
the Saxon race in the British isles
have long since ceased to exist. He
says the term Anglo-SaxOn is like a
pestilence to a Scot (he is evidently a
Scott, a Welshman or an Irishman,
and that these Celtic races know, how
ever much Englishmen may try to OBJ
scure the issue, that it is the enter
prise, imagination and idealism of the
Celts that have built up the mighty
force called the British empire. He
says that as far as this misnamed
AnglO-Saxon race is concerned it has
only been the financial partner, while
the Celtic races have supplied the
brains and muscles and that there
should be no Englishmen, Scotsmen,
Welshmen or Irishmen, but all should
disappear In the title of Briton.

Shin and Its Gender.

The word "ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu-
guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic
and Scandinavian remarks the Marine
Journal.
Perhaps it would not be an error to
trace the custom of feminizing ships
back to the Greeks, who called them by
feminine names, probably out of defer
ence to Athene, goddess of the sea.
But the English-speaking sailor, as
signs no such reasons. The ship to
him is always lady, even though she
be man-o'-war. She possesses a waist,
collars, stays, laces, bonpets, ties, rib
bons, chains, watches and dozens Of
other distinctly feminine attributes.

The s1a.6oo. OOnOoo worth

The $16,60O,OOGOO0 worth of gold
produced since 1892 is not, however, to
be taken as measure of the quantity
of gold now available for currency pur-
poses. The worlds consumption of
gold for industrial purposes alone now
exceeds $175,000000 a year, to say
nothing of the loss by abrasion, and
the amount which disappears by the
"hoarding' process. AS result the
latest compilation of the worlds stock
1 of gold money is but about $S,550,000,-
600, or but little more than oQe-half
Of the actual value of the gold known
to have been produced since 1892.

CIRCUS MIXTURE OF GLORIES
PAST AND MODERNISM
Oldest Form of Entertainment for
Masses and Classes Still
Survives.

Will the higher critics ever destro,
the faith OF. mankind in the circus
If they do, let them be anathema; bu
the dear old circus is surely having Z
/ lard time. Between the people who
want to modernize the circus ano
those who don't want us to believe il,
it anyway, it looks as if the day vii
come when there will be no more cir
Gus. 1t takes lots of illusion nova
days to carry boys fancy roaming
over the world of unknown. And it:
because the circus is the Oldest Illus
ion in the world that it has been the
intermittent joy of humanity as far
back as we can remember and others
before us.
The circus has ravaged and rum
mayed a bigger world than Rome
ever knew and brings it all, such a.
achievement has done and such as II
was thousands of years ago, into your
town and mine; and we forget that
there ever was such a. thing as war
and its sorrows, as we watch the ages
OF the world go by III the sun and
heat to the conquering chortle of the
steam calliope The circus of today
and yesterday is older than time. It
was old as the hills when Romulus
and Remus were being sucked by the
wolf. The story of it is told in a
book which is read by more people
than any other book in the world; a
book which the higher critics have
been trying to reduce to history and
pure reason; when they might as well
give up the job. The story of the
first circus in, the worlds history is
told in the Bible, away back in the
book of Genesis. 1t is the story that
happened to the world when it be-
came very wicked because there were
no circuses to go to. 1t is story
of when all humanity was swept away
by flood except Noah and his fam
lily, who were housed in the ark. The
first circus was managed by Noah
himself, when he had all his sons as
sist him to have the animals of the
world march two by two in the ark;
then his three sons. Shem, Ham and
Japhet, fed them. We have no record
of there being any rings or trapez in
the circus, or even lemonade OF the
pink kind. But the real joy of the
circus, the menagerie, was there.

Trained Wild Animal Show Com
bined with Gollmar Bros. Circus will

Mr.. Smith was always active in the

corder of Bates county and served
four years and made very enviab!c
record as an official.
He belonged to class that is rap
idly passing away, the old time south
ern gentleman, whose hand and home
was always open to his friends. He
was of the highest type of citizen
and his influence could always be
counted on for any movement look
ing to the upbtnlding of the commun-
ity in which he lived His popularity
was attested by the immense throns
, of Borrowing friends and neighbors
that attended his funeral which was
held at the home Sunday afternoon.
The services were conducted by Rev.
f. X. Wolfe, of the M. f. church,
South. of Montrose, and interment
