Cordially Yours, E. J. HAZEL. V';;,,'A NSW national political party has jost been organized in Kansas City. Up to date it has accumulated fifteen mem­ bers and a standard bearer, ^Editor Bryan of the Commoner. IT is very evident that what this country really needs for its salvation is another appellate tribunal, higher than tike supreme court of the United States, to be composed entirely of editorial writers and paragraphists employed on Democratic papers. That the wisdom, patriotism, familiarity with and devo­ tion to tite constitution, as well as in- taltiTe knowledge of the intent of the fathers, for which these gentlemen know themselves to be distinguished, should lie wasted and t&rown away in solemn •Iterances that don't make a particle of deference, is for the nation a terrible ca­ lamity, only to be averted by constitut- ilg these valuable wiseacres into a tri- tanal whose over-rulings of the supreme court shall be authoritative and finaL IT is unkind in the Democratic Chica­ go Chronicle to speak thus of the patron Mint of Democracy, but it does so all the same. Here's what it says: "Mr. Bryan has promised the Democrats of Ohio that if they will nominate the can­ didate for governor whom he wants to see in the field, he will take the stump for their ticket next fall in all parts of the state. The Ohio Democrats are flattered by the offer, but are think­ ing that it is possible to nominate a can­ didate for governor who would get more votes without Mr. Bryan Vaid than with it The best way for the Democrats in all states is to nominate their own can­ didates and fight their own campaigns hi their own way this year and in 1902 without the interference of the defeated candidate for president in 1896 and 1900. That will prepare them for a genuine ,Ifcemocratic campaign in 1904." S«rah«r4t PUjr*d Krdorm Tfc«aa «t S8 Ccata a Beai. Sarah Bernhardt, the great French actress, once played in Sullivan, Ind., at 35 cento a head. It was many years ago, and Bern­ hardt was tnakmg a tonr of the coun­ try. On the way from Louisville to Indianapolis the train was stopped at Sullivan by the news that a serious freight wreck had occurred a few miles up the road 'completely blocking the tracks and making progress to Indian­ apolis impossible until the next day. •Very well," said the manager in ex­ cellent French and with forced calm­ ness. "Since we cannot leave town we will give a performance here." 'Impossible," said Mme. Bernhardt, also in French. "IJiiite impossible." •Not a bit," said the manager, and he went about It. The divine Bern­ hardt, being under contract to'play a certain number of nights, was induced to consent. There was no "opera house" in Sullivan, but the Masonic hall was rented, and some of the scen­ ery was crowded into It. The local job office got out a lot of handbills in a hurry, and messengers were dispatch­ ed to the adjoining towns to spread the glad news that Bernhardt, the di­ vine Sarah, was to play in Sullivan that night and that admission would be 35 cents. "No use trying to charge metropoli­ tan prices here," said the manager to the treasurer, and that gentleman sigh­ ed and said he supposed not. In the early evening there began to come into town long lines of green farmer wagons, each holding a family party. When the house was full, the great Bernhardt cautiously took a peep at it from behinjl the flimsy curtain. "Mon Dieu!" she cried, raising her Jeweled hands. "Look at the Indians!" But she played Fedora for them, and she played until 11 o'clock.--Philadel­ phia Saturday Evening Post. ;/ \ r I;. - ARF, YOU INTERESTED t : 4 ' The condition of our gravelled' ha* long been a subject for serious com- jpent by those who were obliged to travel them either by wagon, buggy or bicycle. would seem that the high­ way commissioners of the various town* consider that when they have let tliD contract to haul gravel on the road 3 their work is done, regardless of the fact that the contractor may have hauled •lore cobble stones than gravel. The zvsult is lame horses, prematurely worn out buggies and broken bicycles if not -broken limbs. There is a right as well as a wrong way to gravel roads and with a little care on the part of the com . , missioners which would coet the tax payer little if any more than at present . _ our highways might be almost as smooth * \ as a floor and riding would become a X^leasure instead of torture. Our atten uott ;hae been called to the owners of Carriages in Woodstock who have united in employing men to remove loose stones - from the loads between their city and Crystal Lake and McHenry. It is a J Commendable work and if our highway » f commissioners can not be persuaded to have this done on our most public roads • Would it not be for the interests of our , "Village to invite travel to it by raising a ;!*?|ond for this purpose? rkCf"t w*y Roads Are Crooked In China. The Chinese road is private property, ft strip taken from somebody's land, fe, v SChis is done much against the will of UV v#he owner, since he not only loses the ft fise of it, but also still has to pay taxes i on it. v ^ One consequence is that It is wide ytenough for only one vehicle, and carts can pass one another only by trespass­ ing on the cultivated land. To prevent this the farmers dig deep ditches by jl^ "the roadside. As the surface wears ip.; away and the dust blows off it gradu- gfe * ally grows lower, and after awhile it gL? - becomes a drain for the surrounding fields. A current forms in the rainy season, which still further hollows It • out, and thus has arisen the proverb ,<. that a road a! thousand years old be­ comes a river. Those whose lands are used for roads naturally prefer to have the roads run p along the edge of their farms instead ' of cutting across them, and this ac­ counts for the fact that Chinese roads are often so crooked that one may have to go a considerable distance to reach a place that is in reality but a few miles away. This always interests the stranger.--Church Eclectic. HE U6ED THE S/U-T TEST. la Old Apache Chief* Kiowledso of the II a man Sf*tem. In the early days of Union Pacific railroading Victoria, Nana and Geron- Imo, the three chiefs of the Arizona Apaches, with 100 of their best bucks, came through to Green River, Wy. They had heard of the "heap wagon and no boss" and had come to stop the train. They made a lasso of rawhide, and 50 men on each side held on to the rope as the freight came down the Wasatch divide. The engineer saw when several miles away what the In­ dians were up to, so he whistled "off brakes" and, opening his throttle, let her loose. The cowcatcher struck the rope and hurled the Indians In all direc­ tions, literally tearing them to pieces, headless, armless and legless. The three chiefs went south to their cactus plains very crestfallen. Before they selected these men the old Chief Victoria had them all eat a piece of rock salt about as big as a pecan, run swiftly about 100 yards, sit down on a log or rock and cross their legs. Then he watched the vibration of the feet, which were crossed. The feet which vibrated the longest or had the longest strokes he declined to ac­ cept for a severe duty or a dangerous trip or for one that was at all hazard­ ous, but he accepted the feet which vi­ brated short, distinct and regular strokes. Now, what did the old chief know about pulsation of the arterial system or of heart action and indeed about salt in the system? I have lived near to Indian reservations and have had occasion often to survey over their lands for railroads and other objects, and I have wondered where old Vic­ toria got his idea. Is not the child of the sagebrush plains better posted than his paleface brother?--Chicago Inter Ocean. A Love Letter of Prince Blnunk. "On my window sill, among all sorts of crocuses and hyacinths, stand two camellias which always inspire me with strange thoughts. One of them, slender and pretty, with its ornamen­ tal crown (top) and soft, pale--very pale--pink blossoms, but little foliage and only two buds, transports me to Reddetin, holds itself rather stiffly and lisps English. The other makes far less impression of beauty as you look at it, and its stalk betrays In its gnarl­ ed twisting lack of care in its pruning. From the midst of the foliage looks out a dead branch, but the crown Is rich in leaves, and the foliage Is green­ er than that of its neighbor. It gives promise of abundant blossoming in its eight buds, and its color is deep dark red and white in irregular gay variega­ tion. Do you take the comparison amiss? It is a lame comparison, more­ over, for I do not love camellias, be­ cause they are without odor, and you I love precisely on account of the fra­ grance of the flower of your spirit, which is white, dark red %nd black."

INDIAN SIGNALS." , Tic Long Dlitaaee Code by Wild the Red Ilea Conversed. The traveler on the plains in the early days soon learned the significance of .he spires of smoke that he sometimes aaw rising from a distant ridge or hill and that in turn he might see answer­ ed from a different direction. It was the signal talk of the Indians across miles of intervening ground, a signal used in rallying the warriors for an at­ tack or warning them for a retreat when that seemed advisable. The Indian had a way of sending up the smoke in rings or puffs, knowing that such a smoke column would at once be noticed and understood as a signal and not taken for the smoke of some campflre. He made the rings by covering the little fire with his blanket for a moment and then suddenly re­ moving the blanket and allowing the smoke to ascend, when he instantly covered the fire again. The column of ascending smoke rings said to every Indian within 30 miles: "Look out. There Is an enemy near." Three smokes built close together meant dan­ ger. One smoke merely meant atten­ tion. Two smokes meant "Camp at this place." Travel the plains, and the usefulness of this long distance tele­ phone will quickly become apparent. Sometimes at night the settler or traveler saw fiery lines crossing the sky, shooting up and falling, perhaps taking a direction diagonal to the line of vision. He might giiess that these w£re the signals of Indians, but unless he were an old timer he might not be able fb interpret the signals. The old timer and the squaw man knew that one fire arrow (an arrow prepared by treating the head of the shaft with gunpowder and fine bark) meant the same as the column of smoke puffs Tii, "An enemy is near." Two arrows meant ("Danger." Three arrows said imperatively, "This danger Is great." Several arrows said, "The enemy are too many for us." Two arrows shot up into the air at once meant "We shall attack;" three at once said, "We at­ tack now." An arrow shot off in a diagonal direction said as plainly as pointing a finger, "That way." Thus the untutored savage could telephone fairly well at night as well as In day­ time." Kxcuraioii Rates to Council Bloflk, Via the North-Western Line.
