Offitws of the cruiser Olymphi, sta

attracted one night in February by
strange lights in the sky. They stud

them to be signals from the cruiser
New York, which was on the Pacific
side of the isthmus, forty-seven miles
away. An extended conversation was
carried on between the ships. Such an
occurrence, in which man uses the

When the Berlin conference ad
ourn?d the highest hope was present
(d that Christian civilization would
idopt the Christian civilized method of
dealing with benighted and weak peo

this interval of humane enlightenment
was short-lived. Only a year or two
elapsed before England, France and
Germany were grabbing African terri
tory right and left But it was sup
posed until recently that the Congo
Free State was preserved to humanity.
Now the evide&ces are accumulating
that the savageries of civilization along
the Congo valley are more horrible
than any of the other manifestations
of civilized oppression.
A generation ago the aword cane
was more fashionable than it is to-day.
One of the reasons for the change is
the existence of laws against carrying
concealed weapons. If the government
can bring it about, the fashion in Co
lombia will follow that of the United
States, for the new Colombian tariff
law prohibit the importation of
"cane,' umbrellas, and so forth, which
contain swords, daggers or apparatus
with which a person could be wounded
or hurt." There Is no law regulating
the mode of carrying umbrellas. In
Bogota, as well as In Philadelphia and
Seattle, it is not necessary that an um
brella whall contain a concealed weap
on to be dangerous, if It is in the
bands or under the arm of a thought

The plea for "the ir.arried woman
business" made recently by M-
Catharine Waugh McCuilwh" ts-fon
the Chicago Woman's Club conference
on "Women in Modern Industrialism'
culls public attention to conditions
that are recognized as deplorable, and
that aronse the widest sympathy. Our
industrialism is cruel and heartless. It
takes little account of the home and
of the obligation of society to protect it
from disruption. It is concerned only
In the lam- of supply and demand as
it affects productive enterprise, and it
seldom stops to heed the voice of the
humanitarian. Industrialism discrim
inates against women who are striving
to fufill the obligations loth of father
and mother because a woman burden
ed with the cares of a home cannot
do the work as well as one who Is free.
Industrialism takes no account of ti e
fact that she has an invalid husband
or a worthless husband and is co:n
I'!Ied to earn money to support herself
and children. And yet thousands of
momen are niakiDg this pathetic stri;?
gle against this spirit of depreciation
and dlscrmlnarion which pervades ail
modern industrialism. When tlie
woman is striving to do the work of

"ought not the state to step in and
support the children T asked Mrs.
McCulIoch. While thoughtful persons
are seriously pondering tills question,
shuddering perhaps at its suggestion
of "socialism" or "paternalism," the
public sense of fairness and of rever-J
ence for motherhood and womanhood)
should tie quickened to a point where
it will not tolerate disenni nation
against married women who are com
pelled by a cruel fate to battle for ex
Istence in any of the industries or pro

An organization was effected consist
Ing of thirty-six young men, aod after
a gissl deal of discussion the name
"Wide Awakes' mas adopted and a

what the great liepubll.nn victory,

Idea was adopted by the Republican

the North, and the great Wide Awake
army was a very irn'iortatit factor in
the success of the fall election mhich
made Abraham Lincoln President. It
was in fact a cruise of alarm in the
South and It was freely reported that
the North was raising and drilling an
army to fight the South, which, m hlle

"So anxious, however, were the
authorities In the North to disabuse
our Southern brethren of the Idea that
we meant tliem harm and to avoid
even the appearance of evil, that when
some of it who enlisted brought our

BOTH JAWS 8HOT AWAY.
Rtill Hncceaafnl Knaineaa Man.
A man who had both jams shot
away had trouble eating ordinary food,
but found a food-drink that supplied
the nutriment needed. He says:
"I have been an Invalid since th
siege of Vicksburg, in 100, where I
was wounded by a Minle ball passing
through ray head and causing the en
tire loss of my Jaw. 1 waa a drum
mer boy, and at the lime was leading
a skirmish line, carrying a gun. Sine
that time I have been awarded th
medal of honor from the Congr. as jf
the I'nited Htatea for gallantry on th
field.
"The consequence of my wound
were dyspepsia In Its most aggravated
form, and I finally proved ordinary
coffee was very hard n my stomach,'
o I tried Postuin and got better. Then
I tried common coffee again and got
worse. I did this scverai times, and
Anally as Postutn helped me every
time I continued t use It, and ho
often I think that If tbe (;veriiraient
has lasned Post urn ta us In th Army
how much better It would have be. a
or we soiioer boy than coffee.
