When a man barters hU birth-right
for a mess of pottage it galls him
Utterly to lose the pottage. Hence
the desperate fight the Carolina
Glass Company grafters are making
to retain their Ill-gotten gain*. Such
low feNcme as the Kentucky and
Baltimore whiskey distillers, when
caught with the goods, paid up
proaaptly. some of them making res?
titution where It was doubtful that a
suit at law would have forced them
to disgorge, but the Carolina Glass
crowd whose ancestry?according to
their attorney ?can be traced back
at least two generations without fear
Of embarrassing discoveries, required
a crow bar to pry them loose and
then they raised a bowl that la beard
around the State. They say they are
fighting for vindication, but vindica?
tion in this case seems to mean keep?
ing the money and nothing more, for
It will be utterly Impossible to so fu

dispensary transactions as to eradi?

ates them through and through. Was
not the Carolina Glass Ce.. like the

the State dispensary ? And did it
not do the business to the great
profit of interested parties at the ex?

THE FLVTE WAXJLKR LYNCHING.
gays the Newberry Observer:
?The lynching of Flute Walker Is
net to be argued about. It is what
ninety out of every hundred white
men In South Carolina would do un
'er like rrllTUSntttnr rn. and what an
? QUal proportion of the white women
ould approve. He met hi* Just fate
-the fate that will overtake all who

bat his lynching was justified. There
n no room for doubt that had the
ynehers trusted to the law be would
lave been accorded a apeedy trial,
ollowsd by speedy punishment. There
? no room for doubt that no com
nunlty can take the law Into Its own
aands without suffering evil as a re*

The Instinct of white men to
Teak summary vengeance upon
rutes such as Flute Walker Is ex
lalnable. although it does not And
I Impulse In the argument of the
observer that other black br?ten are
deterred thereby from committing
like crimes, but thoughtful cltlsen*

furnish an adequate means of pun?

cannot with safety ignore the courts
and break their own laws, when un?
der stress of passion and great prov?
ocation, the primitive Instincts are
uppermost and they are driven by
blood lust to wreak summary ven?

The individual that yields to base
passions and lawless instincts becomes
an outlaw and a meanace to society;
the community that ignores the
courts, runs amuck, shooting, hang?
ing, burning thoge who have incurred
its displeasure, becomes a mob, re?
verts to anarchy and is a menace to
society. Why apologise for, excuse
or condone the acts committed by
a mob. which. If committed by an
inlividual, would be condemned by
the very ones who defend the mob.

THEFRUGAL DUTCH
Economical In Their Use of the
Daily Papers.
ONE JOURNAL READ BY MANY
A Number of Families Will Subscribe
For s Single Paper, Which Goes the
Rounds-Some Thrifty Souls Will
Only Rent fheir Newspspere.
One thing visitors to Holland notice,
and that is that no one on the streets
or in the cars is seen reading a news?
paper. Papers are not sold or hawked
as they are in England and America.
It is only when extremely important
events take place und the papers print
special "bulletins" thut these ure some?
times bought in the street. Usually
the people content themselves by read?
ing these same bulletins when they are
displayed In the windows of cigar
shops, booksellers' shops or at the of
flees of the uewspapers, for the Dutch
people economize in their reading mat?
ter. Many curious ways have beeu
devised to reconcile economy with a
plentiful supply of news and informa?
tion.
Two, three or more families will com?
bine to subscribe for one paper, which
Is then read by each in turn. The
one who gets it first pays a little more
than the later readers, and each may
keep It for a stipulated time?an hour
or perhaps two or three hours or half
a day. In this way it is generally only
the "head of the house" who gathers
in any information, lie monopolizes the
paper as soon as it comes and keeps
It as long as he can. The other mem?
bers of the family then go without
news or are only enriched by the
crumbs of knowledge that now and
then drop from the Hps of paterfamil?
ias.
Most of the daily papers in Holland
are issued in the evening, but some
of the more imponant oues publish
morning editions is well. To subscribe
for more than one paper is considered
a terrible extravagance, and even a
"whole" subscription for one family
alone is looked upon as a luxury. At
the clubs anil the "coffee houses." the
Dutch equivalent of the American sa?
loon, there ure alwuys ne\vspai>ers in
profusion, and very many men do all
their rending there and so save the
subscription fees, for they don't count
the cost of what they Imbibe.
Many clgur shops and sometimes
other stores have what they cull "de?
pots" of newspupers. und there you
can also "rent" u paper and take It
home with you for a certain length of
time for very little money indeed.
Rut the longiug for Information of
the arerage Dutchman of the middle
classes extends fur beyond the dally
papers. He wishes to know all ubout
bis neighbors fur und neur, und ut the
sunio time he wants to keep up bis
knowledge of the langunges learned at
school. For these purposes rending
societies are formed either among
friends or people living in the same
neighborhood, or perhaps all the offi?
cers of a certain regiment will com?
bine; then a committee will be select?
ed from among the members on which
will devolve the task of selecting suit?
able weekly popers or monthly maga?
zines in English. French. Oerman and
Dutch and to circulate these among
the members of the society. These
books and papers are sent round In
large portfolios either once or twice a
week, as may have beeu agreed upon.
So those joining such a society can
read all the lwst English. American.
German and Dutch periodicals at a
slight cost.
Of course you don't always get the
magnzlues us soon as they come out.
This Is carefully regulated according
to the size of your contribution, and
many people read their Christmas sto?
ries in June. Still. It keeps up an in?
terest In the world at large and helps
to keep fresh In the mind nil that has
been learned In youth.
If the head of the house gets most
of the dally papers It is with the pe?
riodicals that the other members of
the householo hove their inuings. They
can reud them while father is nt his
bureuu or ut his office. Sometimes on
enterprising bookseller starts one or
more circulating portfolios in his
neighborhood, and this Is managed on
the fume lines as the private reading
societies.
At the end of the year the old peri?
odicals nnd books that have been the
round of all the subscribers are sold
by auction among the members of the
association.
People vlsitlug Holland are often

MAILED LETTERG.
Belong to the Senders Until Dslivsrsd
to whs Addressees.
Under the postal regulations and the
rulings of the highest courts of the
Ur.f^d States a letter does not belong
to the person to whom It Is sent until
It Is delivered to him. The writer has
g right to reclaim aud regain posses?
sion of It. provided be cud prove to
the satisfaction of the postmaster at
the otlice from which It was sent that
he was the writer of It. Even after
the letter has arrived at tile office
which is its destination and before it
has been delivered to the persou to
whom it is addressed it may be re?
called by the writer by telegraph
through the mailing office.
The regulations of the postotflee de?
partment of course require that the
utmost care shall be taken by the
postmaster at the o?k-* of mailing to
ascertain that the persoL who desires
to withdraw the letter is really the
one who Is entitled to do so. and a
postmaster *s responsible for his error
if he delivers the letter to ao impostor
or an unauthorized person.
The vital principle In our political
system lies at the bottom of this mat?
ter, in this country the state is the
servant or agent of the citizen, not his
master, it remains merely his agent
throughout the transmission of a let?

may carry a message for the citizen,

ST. BERNARD DOGS.
These Famous Life Saving Animals
Ars Ssid to Bs Mongrels.
Among American tourists in Switzer?
land there Is much rivalry for securing
"real" St BeruurUs to take home with
them. They evidently do not know
that the St. Bernards are mongrels.
The original St. Bernards saw the
light toward the end of the fourteenth
century. The mother was a Wallis
shepherd dog, the sire a mongrel of a
Great Dane und i Spanish mountain
mastiff.
In the winter of 1812 nearly ail iue
dogs lost their lives In the snow. In
1810 the last St. Bernard dog died.
But a monk of Martlugny had a mou
grel St. Bernard, and this was crossed
with Wallis sheep dogs. The breed?
ing being done In scientific manuer.
the present race of St. Beruards.
though mongrel, like the first, is better
and stronger than the old ones, it is
said.
The railways have made use of St
Beruards almost unnecessary now. yet
they continue on the old stand in win?
ter when tbe snow lies high. Only the
male dogs are used for rescuing men
in distress. They are followed by men
on snowshoes. who carry provisions.
Each of the older dogs has one or more
young companions, which he teaches
the business.?Boston Post.
Seen In a Dream.
Mr. Hllprecht. professor of Assyriol
ogy in the University of Pennsylvania
in 1893. when puzzling over sketches
of objects excavated ut Babylon, learn?
ed in a dream the solution to the diffi?
culty that confronted him. Two draw?
ings represented fragments of agate in?
scribed with characters. They were
supposed to be bits of finger rings an J.
being apparently of different colors,
wese not closely associated together by
the professor. But In a dream he saw
an Assyrian priest, who told blm how
the priests of the Temple of Bel. hav?
ing received a votive cylinder of agate
from their king, were ordered to make
earrings for their god. They made
three by cutting up the cylinder, and
the professor would flud by fitting the
fragments together that these were
two of them. He did this and found
that they gave a continuous descrip?
tion.
Helping Him Out.
For years Squire ijitham, of whom
many amusing stories are told, was a
resident of Bridgewater, Mass.. and it
was while he was living there that the
Incident occurred which Is related be?
low. It illustrates his habitual coolness
and whimsical temper.
He was awakened one night by his
wife, who told him sbe thought there
were burglars in the house. The squire
put on his dressing gown and went
downstairs. In the back hall he found
a rough looking man trying to open a
door that led into the back yard.
The burglar bad unlocked the door
and was pulling it with all his might.
"It doesn't open that way, you Idiot!"
shouted the squire, taking In the man's
predkameut instantly. "It slides back!"

THEY BORED HIM.
And They C?me Mighty Near Boring
Him Again With Lead.
The dread of boredom Is strongly
characteristic of the present age. but
few hate It with such intensity as the
artist who lived In Paris in the days
of the commune and of whom C. E.
Halle speaks In his "Notes of a
Painter's Life."
"A friend of mine." says Mr. Halle,
"told me that he was In the studio of
an artist when It was visited by a de?
tachment of soldiers. The usual ques?
tion about the possession of arms was
asked and answered In the negative,
but one of the soldiers found a gun in
the corner of the studio, and on his
evidence the owner was told that he
must come out and be shot. My friend
was very fond of him. so he asked to
be allowed to see the gun. It was
given to him, and with the help of a
pencil he passed his handkerchief a
few Inches down the barrel and
brought It out browu with rust. He
pointed out that if the gun had been
used the inside of the barrel must
have been black with powder and not
brown with rust, so the artist was
let off.
"My friend asked the artist why he
had not himself suggested this simple
test, and all the answer he got was:
'Oh, they bored me. I would rather
any day be shot than bored.'"
A POET AT WORK.
The Bumming May Have Helped
Wordsworth Out a Bit.
To see a poem in the making, the
uninitiated are apt to think, should
prove an interesting sight. Unfortu?
nately they will probably be disap?
pointed if the description, quoted by
the Rev. H. D. Rawnsley in "Literary
Associations of the English Lakes." of
Wordsworth at work is to be credited.
An old retainer of the family furnished
this account of Wordsworth walking
up and down his terrace composing:
"Mr. Wordsworth went bumming
and booing about, and she. Miss Dor?
othy, kept close behind him and pick?
ed up bits as he let fall, and she'd
take 'em down and put 'em on paper
for him, and you may be very well
sure as how she didn't understand or
make sense out of 'em. and 1 doubt
that he didn't have much idea aboot
'em either himself. But. howiver,
there's a gey lot of fowk as wad. I
dare say.
"lie would start a-bumming at one
end of the walk, and It was 'Bum.
bum, bum!' till he stopped, and then
'Bum. bum. bum!' back again. Then
he'd set down and get a bit of paper
out and write a bit: then git up and
'Bum. bum. bum!' and go on a-buni
raing right down the terrace and back
again I suppose the bumming helped
him out a bit."
France Has Run the Gamut.
No other modern nation has under?
gone changes more frequent, more

has boxed the compass?has been
feudal, monarchial, imperial, repub?

sounded the depths of royal abso?
lutism and of communistic anarchy;
has made and unmade constitutions in
the pathetic effort to get one that
would fit; has known l military des?
potism which bluntly told the women
to marry and bear children in order
that Napoleon might be continuously
supplied with troops; has known sn
absolute monarchy where a graceful
manner was more effective at court
than a head well filled with sense and
has known a government of the rabble
Ui der which there was an insurrec?
tion against property and death sen?
tences passed against citizens for the
sin of wearing aristocratic names and
clean shirts.?From "The Stor> of
France," by Thomas E. Watson.
The Point of View.
The world in which a man lives
shapes Itself chiefly by the way in
which he looks at It, and so it proves
different to different men. To one it is
barren, dull and superficial; to another,
rich, interesting and full of meaning.
On hearing of the interesting e^culs
which have happened in the course of
a man's experience many people will
wish that similar things had happened
in their lives, too, completely forget?
ting that they should be envious rather
of the mental aptitude which lent
these events the significance they pos?
sess when he describes them. To a man
of genius they were Interesting ad
ventures, but to the dull perceptions
of an ordinary individual they would
have been stale, everyday occurrences.
