Itawaon told the public that he
would do all sorts Of awful thing* to
The "system," by which he meant cer-
tain financial Interests that had been
a little too shrewd for him when
he was identified with them, He
preached vehemently against the "sys-
tem" in the advertising column* or
newspapers and magazines and suc-
ceeded In bringing about a flurry In
the stock market that ruined an un-
known number of small speculators
and had no more effect on the "sys-
tem" thsn to enable It, to clean up
thousands of dollars Its members

A GOOD WIDE YAWN.
It Is • iRleadld Reviver ISi the
Whale Mr.
A good, wide, open mouthed yawn is
a splendid thing for the whole body. A
yawn Is nature’s demand for rest.
Some people Brink they only yawn bo-
cause they are sleepy, but this Is not
so. You yawn because you are tired.
You may he sleepy also, hut that is not
the real cause of your yawning. sYou
are sleepy because yon are tired, and
you jawn because you arc tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning Just
yawn. Don’t try to suppress It be-
cause you think It Is impolite to yawn.
Tut your hand over your mouth If you
want to, but let the yawn come. And
If you are where you can stretch at tba
same time that you yawn Just stretch
and yawn. This Is nature’s way of
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Don’t be afraid to open your mouth
wide ami yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like It. Indeed, If you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on a straight back
c-lmlr, and, lifting your feet from the
floor, push them out in front of you
as far a* possible, stretch the arms,
put the head back, open the mouth
wide and make youraelf yawn.
Those tense nerve* will relax, the
contracted nutacles will stretch nnd the
whole body will be rested. Do this two
or three times when you are tired and
see what It will do for you.

STILL IT IS TRUE.
A republican editor of Chicago thus
ooninp-nu on n public outrage:
"A Boston alderman, Curley by

On Tuesday Curley was re-elected to

the Hub as a 'vindication.'
"All this is bad enough, but, worae la

a reception la to be tendered him.
At the Inaugural ceremonies of the
board or aldermen early next month
Curley will not be present, but his
'loving .friends' propose to hide hia
desk from view with floral tributes.
"Upholders of civic decency will
earnestly hope that Boston may come
to her aenset in time to prevent this
outrageous proceeding. There Is too
much Inclination to condone corrupt
practices on the part of public of-
ficials as It la. The Indifference, If
not worse, 'with which their abort■

Our republican friend Is perfectly
correct and yet he ran see these out-

HYSTERICAL CHICAGO WOMEN.
It.'seems that there Is a small group
of white women In Uhlcago who will
not subscribe to the declsrailon ot
that negro professor from Georgia
that one out of every eight Americans
Is pact negro. The .Chicago 1 rllyine

fore the Chicago Woman's club on
Wednesday that one out of every
eight Americans Is part negro
“At the January meeting if the Chi-
cago chapter, unless the rone native
element succeeds In calming the teel-
lug of the Indignant members, the
daughters will adopt resolutions
strongly denying Du Hols' allegation.
They will use many strong adjectives
and spare no words in making It
known that tlic Daughters of the
American Revolution stand for blue
Idool and white shin and that It will
not tolerate any slurs cast upon the
purity of the blood of the American
race. They also will forward a copy
of these resolutions to Prof, du Hols.
"The daughter* spared no words

such a declaration. They also Intimat-

luckless search.
The women of Chicago have evi-

ously. It Is not likely, however, that
the white men and women of any nth

attention to the Atlanta darkey’s silly
babble about one out of every eight

Such women as those comprising the
Chicago Woman's club are responsible
for such utterances.
DURER AND LEONARDO.
Rxplnnntlciii od the niStarcsces Be-
tween Their Work an Painters.
Durcr was bom a German. Leonardo
an Italian. This sums up much of the
difference lietwcen their work as pu lut-
en. The Italian race, under its sunny
skies, has an inborn love of beauty.
The German, in a sterner climate—
"How I sbi'll freeze after this sun!"
wrote Dnrer. during 111* stay in Italy,
to a friend In Nuremberg—retalus to
this day the energy that carved It*
way through the vast forests of bis
Country and some of the gloomy ro-
mance that- haunted their durk shad-
ows. The German spirit 1* character-
ized by a “comlilnatlon of the wild and
rugged with the homely and tender, by
meditative ilctpth, . enigmatic gloont,
sincerity and energy, by iron dlllgeuco
and discipline.” Very remarkable qual-
ities these, and to lie found In Dnrer'a
work, which Is the rensou that we de-
scribe him as being so representative
of the Teutonic rnco.
But It was not only the difference of
race that helped to mold the genius of
these two men differently. Each was
a manifestation of the "new birth” of
art nml learning that was spreading
over Europe— Leonardo of the form of
It which appeared In Italy and Dnrer
of that which prevailed In Germauy,—
St. Nicholas.

When Colonel Green nnd Colonel
Lawson met. the only shooting theydld

SHAVING IS ANCIENT.
Tk» Custom Was J’rnbnlilr Followed
In I’rchintjorlc Times.
It Is not Improbable tlmt prehistoric
man shaved, for curiously shaped
shells and flint flakes have been dis-
covered which have been supposed to
be very ancient razors. In remote parts
of China men have their chins scraped,
without water or soap, by Instruments
very similar to these, and tlio men of
the stone age wonkl most likely find
out ut a very early stage that to leave
Imlr upon their face was to give a use-
ful handle to their enemies.
That, indeed, was the reason why
Alexander the Great compelled his sol-
diers to shave, and hia order is among
the earliest definite instances of'shav-
ing upon record, although there can be
no question that tlie practice existed
long before Ids day.
The oldest Egyptian sculptures show
some men clean shaven, nnd others
partially so, with curled beards. It Is
recorded In Genesis that Joseph, when
be went from prison to the presence of
Pharaoh, about 1500 B, C., "shaved
himself nnd chnnged Ills raiment.”
Alexander's Palace.
The pnlnco of Alexander the Great
was an iuiimslng structure In Its time,
uud the wonder Is that any vestige of
it stands, todny. It was built In a mnn-
ner much more substantial than that
of today, though advocates of steel
construction claim that the modern
structure will defy time ns long ns
any of those built by the ancients.
Time alone will determine how much
truth there Is lu this contention. On
the Asiatic plain nre the massive rem-
nants of an ancient gateway fringed
with weeds, nnd, vaguely knowing who
he was, the natives tell that this Is all
that la left of the palace of Alexander.

THE EAST AND THE WEST.

cule our own Col Bdl Greene's prom-
ise to do things to Mr. I .awson of Bos-
ton. The Pittsburg Times says:
"Bronco Bill" Greene and "Tipster
Tom” LawMa have met. Realization
fell far short of anticipation In the
meeting, for rite net result of the Inci-

His companionship during the monot-

thing of value to me, for I had known
.him for a good.fflapy year$.. .
"In parading around the streets, of
Independence on the second day, our
attention was attracted by the window
display of a little millinery store. The
display consisted erf a single piece of
feminine headgear. It was about the
most ornate red turban that l ever
saw before or since, ft was of crim-
son velvet, bordered, front, sides and
back, with a heavy mass of gilt fili-
gree work, and k was labeled ‘$15.’
It was, I say, the only hat in the milli-
nery window, and my friend, the au-
ditor, and I stared at It for a long
while. We wondered what possible
use any Independence woman would
ever have for a top-covering of that
splendiferous character, and we won-
dered If It would ever be sold.
“So for the premise and the intro-
duction of the red hat. All of the
passengers on the train, we found
upon comparing notes, had noticed
that red hat on their strolls about
town, and all 'had marveled over it
and wondered if It would ever find a
buyer in Independence, Mo.

"The girl took the money somewhat
gingerly, hut with obvious gratitude.
"About an hour later, at the hour
when the other passengers were leav-
ing the stalled train to dig around In
search of supper, the girl left the
train.
“When she wandered back to the
train, about dusk, she was wearing
