tumorous Department. Too Much Influence. Senator Simmons of North Carolina, served one term in the house of representatives, 'way back in 1886, and was defeated for re-election, says an exchange. This is why: Simmons had secured a postofflce for James City, a solid black town, got at appropriation for a public building at Newborn, across the river, and an appropriation for a road to the National cemetery near by. A negro was nominated against Simmons, but early in the campaign Simmons went to James City and had a big meeting. Allj the colored brethren were for him. Simmons' opponent said nothing during the campaign. He didn't make a speech until the night before election. Then he held a meeting, and this is what he said: "Mr. Simmons is all right. He has sure 'nuff influence at ??* " * ? ho wont WasmngTOn. UUC ma n itm mv up to the White House and he says: 'Mawnin', Mistuh Cleveland.' " 'Mawnin', Mistuh Simmons.' -?- "'Mistuh Cleveland, I want $75,000 for a postofflce over at James City.' "'Go right over to the treasury and git it, Mistuh, Simmons.' "Pretty soon he goes up and says: 'Mistuh Cleveland, I want $20,000 for the road to the National cemetery in my town.' " 'Go right over to the treasury and git it, Mistuh Simmons.' "He's got plenty of influence, plenty; but lemme tell you niggers they's such a thing as too much influence. Some day Mistuh Simmons will go up to the White House and say! 'Mawnin', Boss Cleveland.' " 'Mawnin', Mistuh Simmons.' " 'Mistuh Cleveland, I want all them niggers down In my district put back in slavery,' and he'll do it, and then where'll you niggers be, I ask you?" That settled it. The Price of a Dog. A handsome bachelor of Baltimore, well-known In social and educational circles, acknowledges the truth of the following siory: He was driving with a very pretty and attractive young woman, when on the outskirts of the city they met a lad of about 12 years leading by a chain a singularly ugly, but finely bred bull terrier. The pretty girl went into raptures over the dog, and her escort determined the animal should be hers. ha rftllAd. "what Will oaj f ovuiij | F you take for that dog?" "Nawthlng," replied the lad. "Nonsense!" cried Mr. Blank. "Here is $5 for him." "No, I won't This here dog ain't for sale." "Ten," said Mr. Blank, and then, growing desperate, "fifteen, twenty." But the owner still refused. All the time the conversation was going on the youth, although talking to the man In the buggy, kept his eyes fixed on the other occupant of the vehicle, and at last he said gravely: "I don't want your money, but If you'll Just give that lady there a kiss you may have the dog." Mr. Blank was speechless. He stared at the boy an Instant and then put the whip to his horse, starting him off at a run. otrtrv that ft mile was srone over without a word being spoken, when as the horse's rapid gait became slower as It turned down a country lane the pretty girl turned ever so slightly, and said shyly, "Oh, Mr. Blank, why didn't you buy that dog?" ?Baltimore Sun. Negro Eloquence.?Some years ago one of Texas' widely known statesmen who Is now dead was passing along a street In Dallas when an old colored man who had once belonged to him approached, took off his hat and passed a hand over his white wool as he asked: "Marsteh, gin de old man 50 cents." "Dan, you are a robber." "How?" asked the astonished darky. opening his eyes, around which roughshod age had walked. "Didn't you see me put my hand in my pocket?" "Yes, sah." "Well, you old rascal, you rob me of the pleasure of giving you money without being asked." The old man received a dollar. Bowing almost to the ground, while tears came out and coursed through the aged prints around his eyes, he replied: "Marster, wld?wld such a heart as you hab and wid Abraham and Isaac and de Lord on your side I don't see what can keep you out of heaven." A Poor Salesman.?Carey Johnson Ludlam, the southern philologist, said at a dinner: "I hope that the sales man who accosted me on my way nere this evening will take in one of the many schools of salesmanship an eight or nine years' course. I'm sure he needs it. "This salesman, shabby young man. laid his hand on my arm and said: " 'Say, friend, lemme sell ye a box of this here patent cement.' "I shook off his filthy paw. "'Cement!' I sneered, annoyed at his familiarity. 'What do I want with cement?' " 'Why,' cried the man, in apparent surprise 'ain't ye broke? Ye look it.'" ?Philadelphia Record. It Depended.?To illustrate the different viewpoints of manufacturers upon the question of tariff revision, Charles Heber Clark, a writer upon economic subjects, but better known as a numunsi unuer mc pen nam-. v-? "Max Adeler," recently told this story to a gathering of Philadelphia manufacturers. "There Is a farmer neighbor of mine In Montgomery county who was the owner of a very good Alderney cow. One day a stranger, having admired the cow, met the farmer and asked, 'what will you take for that cow?' "My farmer friend scratched his head a minute and then said, 'Look ahere, be you the tax assessor or has she been killed on the railroad?'"?Circle. r?.,? r\t Onlor Phnmn Clark loves to tell of how In the heat of a debate Congressman Johnson of Indiana called an Illinois representative a jackass. The expression was unparliamentary', and In retraction Johnson said: . "While I withdraw the unfortunate word, Mr. Speaker, I must insist that the gentleman from Illinois is out of order." "How am I out of order?" yelled the man from Illinois. "Probably a veterinary surgeon could tell you!" answered Johnson, and that was parliamentary enough to stay on the record.?Success Magazine.

THE TERROR OF THE AIR. .'eppelin's Airship Gives Cause For Alarm In England. In spite of the adverse opinion of 'rince Henry of Prussia as to the isefulness of the Zeppelin airship as a ^ar machine, says the New York Sun, ertain British experts are working hemselves into a pretty state of panic >ver the menace from Friedrlchshafen. The situation is disquieting today. As hey figure it, it will be alarming in a ear, and disastrous in 1912?which eems to figure in British eyes these lays as a sort of year of doom. The erformance of the airship described is Zeppelin No. 1 on the first day of his month, when she weathered a ;reat storm without damage, and her ater performance of remaining in the lir all night with a full military crew >n board, will not tend to soothe the Iritish anxieties. Indeed they may be xcused for assuming that Prince Heny's pessimism is more or less a pariotic bluff. As in the matter of the Dreadnought >anic the English fears grow out of an inderstanding of the speed with which lermany is now able to construct whatever implements of war she may hlnk needful. If airships are to play i formidable part in the warfare of the uture these fears are more justifiable han the naval scare, for British miliary ballooning: is still in the same elenentary state as when the first miliary dirigible, the far famed Nulll Secundus, made her seriocomic flight rom Aldershot to London and as far jack as the grounds of the Crysta jalace at Sydenham in October. 1907. \s against this state of inertia the leronautieal correspondent of the Lonlon Times furnishes the information hat in 1812 Germany will have a fleet >f at least twenty-four Zeppelin ships, ill capable of making "oversea ex- urslons" and "probably speedier than my naval vessel." Before the end of this year, it is asserted. there will be ready four Zeppein ships, all of them improvements jpon the vessel with which experinents are now being conducted. After his year the capacity of the airship factory at Friedrichshafen, which the German government is developing at a lost of $1,.100.000. is estimated at eight completed vessels a year. This gives [lie twenty-four forecast by the aeronautical correspondent by the end of 1912. even allowing for the retirement )f this year's crop on the ground of ibsolescenee. It is estimated that a Zeppelin ship >f the present type could reach England within ten hours and "do enormous damage In a brief space of time." The expert ignores the fact that no Zeppelin ship has yet remained twenty-four hours in the air. although at least one attempt has been made. But lie hastens to say that improvements will be made with great rapidity, and he has no doubt that the twenty-four vessels of the 1912 type could also at 8< the initiation of a war put at least ten of the twenty British Dreadnoughts out of action and seriously damage the tQ English naval bases. Worse even Q{ than the physical damage would be n( the moral effect of such an attack. No dream of a panic monger in this b? to be derided by the overconfident, &J the Times man urges. The primitive j Zeppelin ship is known to have made unbroken flights of 360 miles; it Is re known to have attained a speed of 36 miles an hour, and the nearer parts of { Germany and England are only 250 w miles distant from each other. The Zeppelin ship can rise to a height of a mile; It can carry a ton for explosives ( with a full crew and supplies for a ar voyage of 800 miles. _ To oppose this terror of the air, It ^ appears, England has a tentative pro- ar gramme tor the building of "at most j five small sized, slow, non-rigid air- ^ ships, which, as compared with Zeppe- h{ lin's, would be as antiquated cruisers T] to Dreadnoughts." In fact there are tr no up-to-date facilities In Great Brl- ^ tain for building dirigibles, and the ^ best rate of construction that could at ?? as present be hoped for would be one vessel a year. No one has any knowledge pc or experience of value In planning or ar building them. If the Ave as planned today were completed and ready they ^ would be fitted only for overland ser- ^ vice and could carry no armament to W( onne with the German war dirleibles. ?r ------ - ~ ui Still worse, there would be no expe rlenced corps to navigate or fight them, ar whereas It Is well known that the Ger- vJ man army already has a competent gr aeronautic division which Is being con- ot ?-tantly enlarged and perfected In aerial a, manoeuvres. "Are we wise," asks the aeronautical correspondent In conclu- m slon, "to shut our eyes to this steady, of scientific progress of skilled and se- ^ rlous men and to trust to our theorists hj when they assert that Zeppelin and his pf comnatriota are foollshlv strlvlne after the Impossible?" ^ ? o\ Wild Horses In the West. kr The first horses of the western plains were probably brought here by the ly Spaniards. In 1545 almost fifty ra years before Jamestown was settled, |t Corondo, the Spanish captain, was m roaming about the plains of New Mex- tj, Ico, and he tells of the dogs used by the m Indians to haul their plunder on lodge T] poles, indicating that they had no pl horses at that date. ur In 1716 the Spanish again worked their way eastward across the plains, n? and their letters tell of the astonish- aJ ment of the Indians at seeing the jg horses they had with them. The expe- ra dltlon was constantly losing horses, tQ and there Is little doubt that the first droves of western horses originated pr from these strays. ar In the early days upon the plains kr they were as great a pest to travelers as they are today. Woe be unto the nt luckless campers who allowed a band bg of wild horses to get close enough ^ to his gentle horses turned out for the ? . ? hi night to sweep them off. It was almost useless to follow, for cc the call of the wild comes to the gent- ^ lest of horses when he is thrown with ^ a band of this kind that have been born ra and raised free of all restraint. It is a well known fact that the hardest one to cut out, the leader of them all in a 80 mad race across the prairie, Is the old, ^ gentle, well-broken saddle or work - . - m norse once ne gfU a mate or aucn ireedom. m In those early days various methods pl of capturing these wild horses were ,n followed. Men made It a regular bus- al Iness and were known as mustangers. ^ One of their devices, called creasing, consisted of shooting a bullet so that It vt struck the animal on the top of the neck just In front of the withers and about an inch or so deep, close to the spinal column. M The shock temporarily stunned the horse and the hunter ran up and tied the animal's feet together before he re- M covered. A rope halter was slipped on th his head; a gentle horse, or sometimes b< - t..nn 1 f Vva OQ U w in K HA, n an icu up uiung^iuc prostrate beast and he was securely Ai necked up to the gentle animal and thus could be handled easily. to Old mustangers say, however, that g? for one horse caught this way fifty w were killed, and that as a matter of fa fact the method was not used very jn much except In an emergency, when a w hunter, after days at attempts to cap- m ture, finally took the risk of success- ca fully creasing an exceptionally fine an- pj Imal rather than see him escape alto- je gether. bc One of the best cow ponies I ever ga owned, I bought from a mustanger who jc had creased him on the plains east of the Pecos river in New Mexico. There was a hole in his neck fully two inches th deep and wide where the fall from the heavy buffalo gun had ploughed Its way j through the * flesh just high enough above the spine not to kill and low ^ enough to stun effectively.?McClure's. A CINCH FOR UNCLE SAM. About $9,000,000 Profit From the Mints Last Year. While Uncle Sam makes the gold coin practically without cost to the owner of the bullion, he makes sufficient profit (called seigniorage) on the silver coinage and the nickels and pennies manufactured at his mints during the year to do a great deal more than pay all expenses of maintaining the mints and assay offices. He buys the silver, nickel and copner at its bullion value, which in the case of silver costs about half the face value of the coin made from It. The actual cost of a nickel or five cent piece at the present price of the metal, Including the labor and contingent expenses, is about two-fifths of a cent each, and the cost of a one cent piece, including metal, labor, etc., is about one-fifth of a cent each. In addition to the profits on silver and minor coinage, says the National Magazine, the government has a source of revenue and profit from charges for refining deposits of gold and silver, charges for the alloy used in making the coin, assaying, making medals, sale of by-products from the refining operations and the coining of money for other governments. The total earnings of the mint and assay service for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, was $10,942,900.98. while tlie total expenditures for the entire service, including salaries, the wages of workmen, contingent expenses and the loss In operations, amounted to $1,955,843.24, leaving a total profit of $8,987,057.74. Of this income for the term above stated the seigniorage on the silver coinage was $8,713,413.35, and the seigniorage on the minor coinage for the same period was $1,535,029.42. _ X'l'Xn less than 10,000 tons of dy- C namite will be used on the Panama carnal within the next twelve months. MARINE BAD CHARACTERS. )m? Fish That Are Dangerous to Bathers and Fishermen. The idea of fish constituting a danger i human life or llinb would hardly :cur to the angler who has never cast it or line in tropical waters, yet there e several instances on record of ithers being attacked by pike, and 1 old writer, Crull, tells of a giant ke inside which was found the body an infant. Not long ago a good sized triever which was swimming in the hames Just above Chltty's boat house Richmond was tackled by a pike, hich bit one of his hind legs so badly i to sever an artery. It was another Thames pike which tacked that well known naturalist id fisherman, Mr. Cholmondeleysnnell. He had actually landed the ih when it sprang from the ground id fixed all Its sharp teeth into his g just above the knee.

Ne o boatmen have such a holy horror It that they absolutely refuse to low a moray into the boat.

The officer shouted to him to stop it had to threaten to throw the man rerboard before he would put up his life. When the great eel was pulled 'er the side the negro was absoluteashen with fright. As for the moy, no sooner was It In the boat than doubled upon Itself and Its jaws et with a clash In Its own side, cutrig out a chunk of white flesh as ;atly as a scoop would cut cheese, hat was enough for the officer.

Certainly the barcouta is an unpleasant looking cusmer. He is long and narrow, shapI like a torpedo, blue black above and ay below, and he can swim at most nazlng speed. Where he lives he is town as the devil fish, a name cornon to all marine bad characters. The (groes have a perfect horror of the irracouta, which they aver will atck bathers and Inflict upon them a utuation impossible to describe. Another so-called devil fish which is immon on American coasts from 30 tg. north latitude to about the same sgree south of the line Is the slant iy. This fish looks very like a skate, it grows to an enormous size. It lies 1 the sea bottom, covering: many luare yards of coral sand, and if tacked may prove not only nasty but ost dangerous. It is said to use its outh like a shark, but its most uneasant weapon is the toothed spear its tail. Fishermen aver that it is >le to drive this Jagged lance right irough a man's thigh.

Naturalists who recently visited the ohave desert in Arizona claim that lere has been an increase in the num:r of gila monsters in that region," ild Dr. A. B.

Its skin Is very tough and, although the bones of the tall are fragile, this part of the reptile Is very strong, It being possible for the monster to raise Itself and balance the body on the tip of the tall, thus enabling It to climb rocks and steep ascents. There Is no doubt that the teeth lead to glands containing poison. It Is very slow In its movements, but it is not timid like other reptiles. If one attempts to strike the gHa with a stick It will grasp the weapon In its Jaws like a dog does, and when angered It emits its breath in a succession of quick gasps. It is supposed that the breath of the glla has a drug-like effect on insects and as It can be detected at a considerable distance It Is believed that this is the way it catches Its food." NOW HE KNOWS. Solution of a Mystery That Bothered the Middle-Aged Man In His Youth. "When I was a boy," said the middle-aged man, to a New York Sun reporter, "we used to come across a pear tree occasionally that had pears so hard you couldn't bite 'em. Maybe you've seen 'em. "They were a chunky built pear, almost spherical In shape, a very dark green, almost black In color and ol about the same specific gravity as cast Iron. You threw one of those pears against a rocK ana it migni cmp tne rock, but it would have no effect on the pear. These pears never got ripe; they adways remained of just thai same hardness. There were no apples that we could not bite Into, but those hard pears were proof even agalnsl the teeth of our youth. "I used to wonder sometimes whj those pears grew, what they were for and what became of them. Now 1 know. I came across some yesterday preserved. "There they were In the dish, two pieces, of one pear, two hemispheres of pear, looking strangely familial when In my mind I had reconstructed them to make one pear; and when after barely escaping shooting the piece I tried out of the dish on to the table in my repeated endeavors to penetrate It; when, I say, I had Anally managed to shave a silver off this piece I fell morally certain, and when I had tasted it any lingering doubt I might have had was removed: It was tasteless, They were beyond all question the same old pears. "Boiling and steaming had softened them a little on the surface, but no! much, and despite all treatment they still remained as they had ever been, without taste. They were the pears, all right?the petrified pears of oui youth, and while we couldn't eat them we smiled as we thought we had solved at last that long standing mystery ol what they did with them?they car 'em." PIRATES OF THE SULU SEA. Their Attack Upon Fleet of Pearling Boats?The Leader Jikiri. Captain Charles Pfort of the steamship Borneo brought the startling news from Jolo that the pearling fleet of four boats belonging to B. HeatonEllls, had been attacked by Moros while at anchor near the town of Parang. The Moros surrounded the pearlert and began the attack 'at long range To this Are the crew of the pearlers responded to the best of their ability, but having a very limited number ol arms and a small amount of ammunition their defence did not amount tc much. Two of the pearling luggers Immediately got up sail and were able tc escape. As the steamship Borneo was leaving Jolo a pearler was being towed In by a launch, but being pressed for time Captain Pfort could not wait to hear the details of the affair. However, the report that he brought Is that four or five men were killed and several wounded and one of the vessels was scuttled and sunk by the pirates. It Is thought that the attack was organized and directed by Jlklrl, the famous outlaw whose band killed the lumbermen Verment and Case something more than a year ago. While it is doubtless true that many of the crimes committed in the Moro province and credited to Jikiri were perpetrated by others, this last ferocious attack on the pearlers was most probably the work of Jlklrl's band. It is known that his followers now amount to a considerable number of picked rascals, all of whom are armed with up to date rifles.?Mindanao Herald. its Love in a cottoge Is generally the result of a vivid imagination. f Don't Heat the Kitchen All the necessary family cook? ? ?? in? may be none as wen on a New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove as on the best coal or wood range.
