? * ~ i Clean the Sides of the Roads. There may be a picturesque beauty in having the roadside covered with weeds and bushes of all sorts, even as artists ofaen profess they see beauty in tumble-down buildings and ruins, but It is not a beauty that appeals to the eyes of the thrifty farmer. Artists alto assert that "the line of beauty is not a straight line." but what farmer would prefer to see a field In which the rows of plants are mathematically straight than one In which they curved like the course of a snake. All have not the ability to plow & straight furrow Invariably, nor has every one the capital to put their buildings in good repair, but almost every one can find time to cut down bushes and weeds along the road and perhaps to seed them to gra?9. A day in a year would clean up a long stretch of road, and the time so spent would soon be saved by cheeking the supply of weed seed on the farm adjoining. Some of the bushes may be large enough to cut up for i summer wood, and some of the weeds nasty be fed to the hogs if cut before the seeds are formed, or they may be piled up and rotted, or ail bushes and woods may be dried and burned on the ground, but the main point is to put them where they will not cumber the ground any longer, or be an eyesore to paaaersby. ??? Pinky Prettiness. Among the very most fetching of the handsome heavy linen dresses which are seen upon the best dressed women are the occasional ones of coral pink. These are beautifully fresh looking, and very many of them show a white collar (sailor or otherwise) which is rather cut out to display the soft, white nnder-hlouse. One such dress is but a series of tucks, not tucks "on the straight," but rather, rascally, difficult tucks, which are very close together at the waist line, but spread to a distance of two inches apart where they cease, just below the knee, the fullness forming a flare round the feet. Though graduated to correspond, the tucks In the blouse continue the length of this little garment, as do those in the sleeve. This dress is equally lovely in old btafecjr Wedgewood green. pi - Passing of the Horse. 80 soon as nature sees an improvement, there is a change. The candle gave war to eieetricity.

Hold Closer to Troth Thin White Mea. ''Indians make good witnesses and tliey stick closer to facts than white people." This statement was made the other evening by Judge O. P. Shiras of the Uniied States District Court of Northern Iowa. He speaks from his experience in trying many cases in which Indians were either concerned or appeared as witnesses. He was appointed during the administration of Chester A. Arthur and since has been continually holding court in his own district and within the 8th United States Judicial District, which comprises thirteen states and three territories. This federal district, leaving out the state of Kentucky, is larger than all the territory east of the Mississippi River. Speaking of his interesting experience in coming in contact with the Indians in court he says the red man or woman is generally accurate. His observation was general. He says: "Ask a white man if he was drunk on a certain occasion he will try to wriggle out of it, but the Indian will come out with a 'ye9' If he was. On one occasion a lawyer asked & squaw if she understood tne nature 01 uer obligaton in giving testimony. She answered that she had taken a 'strong word' to tell the truth and she would do so. She was asked to define the difference between the truth and a lie, whereupon she said: 'The truth is the truth and a lie is a lie; they are different and you can't make them alike.' "You will remember that some six years ago an Indian named Plenty Horses was being tried in Sioux Falls for the murder of CoL Casey of the United States army. One of the witnesses brought in by the government was American Horse. There had been a Messiah craze among the Indians and a religious phase had been injected into the trial. "In the examination of American Horse he was asked what he knew about religion. There stood near by a small white table which the witness drew near him. He placed his finger on the center of the table and drew a circle about it saying, 'This is what the red man knows about religion;' then he drew a larger circle saying that the white man knew that much more. Moving his finger around the outside of the larger circle he said: 'Beyond this the red man knows as much about the coming of a Messiah as the white man.'" Judge Shlras says the Indian makes a good juror, in which capacity he may sit after relinquishing tribal relations and complying with government severalty laws. He says, too, that he has come in contact with some good In- i dian lawyers. "I think," said he, "there is a mistaken idea about the red man having been generally mistreated by the government. The facts show that they are the richest people per capita in the whole country. The trouDie is iu?v they have a poor Idea of the value of money, and spend it recklessly. Indians will walk clear across one state Into another to draw their annuities and In twenty-four hours after getting the money they will have gambled every cent of it away before they leave the vicinity and then walk back home to do the same thing over on the next pay day. "It is astonishing to see the methods used by an intelligent red man to get away with his money. Among other things he has a weakness for a certain fcind of amusement known as the 'Merry go Round.' Recently one of these concerns got permission to set up one of their machines on a reservation within my circuit The bucks would gather about the contrivance and to the tune of a steam-turned or?an would ride the whole blessed day. They spent all the money they had and pawned different articles to get more for the same amusement. "During the last few years the women took a great craze for wearing these blue bathing suits trimmed in white braid. The traders are said to have disposed of a large quantity of this toggery, the squaws wearing them ill the time until worn out, when they would buy another suit." The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell Inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true.

Da&dzn, Myrtle, Miss^ M BBBIW0 1 vh A LAST CALL UPON CHINESE This Government Sends An "Urgent" Message to Emperor. IS PRACTICALLY A DEMAND It Urge^ That Attacks On Lega gations Cease ana inai imperial Government Assist In Their Protection. A dispatch has been sent to the Chinese government through Minister Wn insisting that the firing on the legations cease, and that the imperial government, if it desires to show its friendliness, shall co-operate with the relieving column. In this matter the government has proceeded on the assumption that the imperial government is willing to do all it can to aid in relieving the ministers. The dispatch is signed by Assistant O A ond 1H flfl follows UCAUW M-v* ? ? "We are availing ourselves of the opportunity offered by the imperial edict of the 5th of Augast allowing to the foreign ministers free communication with their respective governments in cipher, and have sent a commiiatcation to Minister Conger to which we await an answer. We are already advised by him, in a brief dispatch received August 7th, that imperial troops are firing daily upon the ministers in Pekin. We demand the immediate cessation of hostile attacks by imperial troops upon the legations, and urge the exeroise of every power and energy of the imperial government for the protection of the legationers and all foreigners therein. "We are advised by the same dispatch from Minister Conger that in his opinion for the foreign ministers te leave Pekin as proposed in the edict of August 2d, would be certain death. In view of the fact that the imperial troops are now firing on the legations, and in view of the doubt expressed by the imperial government in its edict of August 2d as to its power to restore order and secure absolute safety in Pekin, it is evident that this apprehension is well founded, for if your government cannot protect our minister in Pekin it will presumptively be unable to proteot him upon a journey from Pekin to the coast. "We therefore urge upon the imperial government that it shall adopt the course suggested in the third clause of the letter of the president to his majesty, the emperor of China, of July 23, 1900, and enter into communication with the relief expedition so that cooperation may be secured between them for the liberation of the legations, the protection of foreigners and the restoration of order. Such an aotion on the part of the imperial government would be a satisfactory demonstration of its friendship and desire to attain the ends. (Signed.) Alvey A. Adee, The state department made public the text of the note Thursday. Its contents were accurately forecasted in the Associated Press dispatches sent on Wednesday night. It practically is a demand for complete compliance with the terms of the letter of the president to the emperor of China, sent July 23. It acknowledges the receipt of the edict allowing free communication with the members and virtually serves a notice on the imperial authorities that their good faith in issuing ft is to be tested by a oipher despatch whioh has been sent to Minister Conger. The strangest part of the note is embraced in the demand for the immediate and complete cessation of the attacking imperial troops upon the legationers. The note is not at all bellicose ia toner cud its temper is generally com* mCaded as the best method of using the professed friendship of the imperial authorities to save the legationers. The demand for the immediate ces* Nation of the attack on legations ii siern and emphatic but the word "demand" gives way to "urge" when the imperial government is requested to place itself in friendly communication with the advancing allies.

When Senator Hanna was asked about the matter, he replied: "Poor girl. She wanted the Republican national committee to indorse , the Anti-Lynching League. Of course we could not do it. We all deprecate lynching. I told her that all moral persons and law-abiding ones are against lynching. This is not a party matter." WRECK INJURES MANY.

American Machinists Who 0? to China Generally Get the Worst of It A great many skilled machinists and engineers have gone to China from this country during the past ten years," said the captain of a large cargo steamer, who has made frequent trips to the flowfry kingdom. "Most of them were engaged to take charge of big plants, and while the job seemed tip-top on the surface the result was nearly always disappointing. The Chinese are very anxious to avail themselves of foreign skill but take care to dispense with it at the earliest possible moment. A manufacturer, for example, will put in modern machinery and hire an American expert as a superintendent, giving him a couple of sleepy looking young Chinamen as assistants. In six mouths the sleepy looking pair have mastered all the technicalities of the plant and some pretext is found for gettiug rid of the American. The fact that he has a five or tenyear contract is no special obstacle. All labor contracts may be voided for good cause, and in China there is never any difficulty in proving anything you like about a man. I knew an Ohio engineer who went to Canton several years ago to set up and operate a large plant in a silk mill. He was under a five-year contract at $0,000, gold, per annum, and thought he had a soft thing. Before his first year had elapsed he was discharged on the ground of habitual druukeuness, neglect of duty, waste of material, Insubordination and a dozen or so other little things I have forgotten. Being entirely innocent, he showed fight, but was overwhelmed by a cloud of witnesses and the case against him was made so strong that the consul refused | to interfere. His place was taken by ! his native assistant, who made a botch j of it and destroyed thousands of dollars' worth of costly machinery, but that didn't help the engineer who was sacked. American experts who know the ropes Insist upon having a clause in their contracts authorizing them to employ their own assistants. It has been the same way with even the military instructors.

Last week was a hard one for tt old men of the Kiowa, Comanche an Apache tribes of Indians, says tl Wichita (Kan.) correspondent of tl Chicago Record. They had to give t all of their wives but one. Some < the medicine chiefs had as many as tt women whom they called wives. A but the favorite one are now livir away from the old buck's tepee.

He said that for his wives he hi paid nearly 1,000 ponies and had be? twenty years in gathering them arour his tepee.
