With some extracts from the unpub
lished work of the late Walter
Blackburn Harte.
(Copyright, 11)06, by Joseph fi. Howies,)
Though we often dispralsa
others to exalt ourselves, we
quite as often attribute all sorts
' of qualities to our companions so
that we may show in what soci
ety we move and with whom we
are equals. !
Some women's brilliancy in
society consists entirely of their
diamonds. It is the only kind oZ
brilliancy apparently that soci
ety appreciates.
When he felt tender toward his
wife he treated her to a bellyfu'
of moonlight. He never allowed
his sentiment to corrupt bis ,
economy. But she was not alto-
gether satisfied with this, and .
used openly to suspect his mo- 1
tives and the depth of his affec- !
tion, but after marriage it was 1
n evasion a procrastination of
love. What is moonlight to a j
married woman, compared with i
the glitter of feminine baubles '
and finery? i
One of the bad ' influences of
women in literature is that it J
has made the majority of our
"men write like namby-pamby J
schoolgirls. (
I
To understand women it Is J
necessary to despise them; and i
to do this one must have loved j
them, which is the thorny part of
knowledge. The cynic about J
women knows them as women
V
know each other.

disillusionment comes in. A wo

. ("I realize that it is exceedingly late
to be writing about Mrs. Wharton's
'House of Mirth.' " Correspondence
New York Times.)
We may still write of "Pickwick,"
"Henry Esmond," "Ivanhoe,"
".Far From the Madding Crowd," "The
Egotist," "Pere Goriot,"
Of "Pride and Prejudice," and Other
tales of equal worth
But it's rather late to write of Mrs
Wharton's "House ot Mirth."
We still may talk of "Middlemarch,"
Salammbo," "On the Heights,"
"Jane Eyre," "Tristam Shandy," "One
of Cleopatra's Nights,"
Dumas' "Vlcomte de Bragelonne" or
Scott's "Fair Maid of Perth"
But It's really getting late to talk
bout "The House of "Mirth."
Why, bless my soul! "The House of
Mirth" was published months
ago.
Already we remember it with las:
year's leaves and snow;
"Best Sellers" come like water an1
like wind they disappear;
There is naught so soon forgotten as
the books of yesteryear.

CHAPTER 1.
Redcuss worked In the Chicago
stockyards.
Reader, unless you have Investlgat
ed the stockyards for an exposure mag
azine you cannot comprehend the hor
ror of waking there. Redcuss felt It la
a dumb way, but his eyes were not yet
opened. His wife was dead, killed by
the famous stockyards smell, the
smallest sniff of which drives men to
socialism. Redcuss was not yet a so
cialist, but he was the next best thing
a vegetarian. The reason why he was
a vegetarian will be found in the next
chapter.
CHAPTER II.
No man can work eight hours a day
slaughtering sick and loathsome cattle
and retain a liking for canned roast
beef or tongue. No man can plunge a
knife into a steer afflicted with German
measles and ever afterward attempt a
steak. No man could look upon ths
sights described in the next few chap
ters and think of eating meat without
a shudder!
CHAPTERS III XXI.
(Omitted by request.)
CHAPTER XXII.
Thus Redcuss was a vegetarian, lika
Bernard Shaw, but not yet, like Shaw,
a socialist. Potentially he was a so
cialist, like all men who are down
trod or whose lungs have inhaled the
stockyards smell. He believed in gov
ernment ownership of breweries, mis
sion furniture works, and other things?
He believed that all the money in th
world should be divided equally. But
he lacked expression. He felt, but
could not speak, and. if you have no
terminology, no jargon, you are no
kind of a socialist. A dumb sociaiis'
is a contradiction in terms.
CHAPTER XXIII.
Came one day the awakening. A fellow-workman
lent Redcuss Jack Lon
don's "War of the Classes." He read
and his brain took fire. They gave
him the complete works of Upton Sin
clair and English Waiting's "Musings
of a Revolutionist." He subscribed for
a socialist weekly, and one eventful
night he attended a monster mass
meeting of socialists at the Coliseum.
It was a mobilization of the Army of
the Revolution. The great hall was
red- and riotous with the glorious ban
ners of our faith. Redcuss was drunk
with excitement. They pointed out t.
him the leaders sitting on the stage
Jack London, Gen. Upton Sinclair,
Gen. Phelps Stokes, Gen. Robert Hun
ter, and 40 other generals.
But hush! hark! General Sinclair
speaks!
CHAPTER LAST.
"And now," cried General Sinclair,
"now begins the rush that will neve
be checked, the tide that will never
turn till it has reached its flood the
rallying of the outraged workingmen
of Chicago to our standard! We shall
organize them! We shall drill them!
We shall marshall them for the vic
tory! We shall bear down the opposi
tion, we shall sweep it before us! Chi
cago will be ours! Chicago will be
ours! CHICAGO WIIL BE OURS!!!"
A wild roar arose as the army took
up the slogan. Screaming it, Redcuss
rushed out into Wabash avenue and
hurled himself, with a flank movement.
upon a policeman.
When he recovered consciousness he
was on a narrow cot in harrlson street
police station. The city was quiet
The Army of the Revolution had re
tired to their respective homes. The
wind was southwest, and a familiar
odor floated on the night air the smell
of the stockyards!
Redcuss turned his face to the wa"!
and wept.

COLOR IN BUYING CATTLE
Stockmen in Scotland Discover That
Trade Has Taste in Pur
chasing. At the shows and sales of pure tred
cattle held in Scotland questions ol
color have been coming under discus
sion as if they never had had a se
rious reviewing, and arguments for
and against certain shades are pulled
up every now and then by "What do
the foreigners say?" Galloway men
can scarcely be said to have a color
question except on special occasions
when some one for a fondness for
what is not always on the card won
ders whether the southwestern cattlev
like the Aberdeen-Angus, are in dan
ger of becoming too black. However,
experts say that if Galloway men as
a body were as wise as a select few
they would persistently aim at the
preservation of that soft touch of
brown in the hair which a bygone race
of breeders held to be a sign of qual
ity or of desirable feeding and milk
ing properties.
During the last few years there has
been a moderate reaction in home
shorthorn circles against the pursuit
of dark colors. A rich red is an
honored possession, but a few whites
are more than tolerated by numbers
of breeders who wish to preserve me
dium shades of roan as seen in anl
amls with dark heads and necks and
light-colored bodies. "Mealy roans,"
or those blendings in which white has
the most surface, were common enough
when American dollars had little Influ
ence on British homesteads, but the
dark roan, a stranger to the "meal,"
is now, of course, a more favored quan
tity because it suits the South African
market.

NEW JERSEY 'RICKISHAS.
Vehicle of Yankee Make Has Invaded
the Orient with Good
Results.
That characteristic vehicle of the
orient, the jinrikisha, is drawn by a
yellow coolie in Japan, a brown Hindu
In India, a black Zulu in South Africa;
but look between the shafts of the
rikisha in any of these countries, and
you will probably find the same name-
plate that of a vehicle manufacturer
in New Jersey. The Yankee jinrikisha
has invaded the east, and its invasion
promises to result in a permanent oc
cupation of countries where cheap la-
bor would seem to forbid sales of
American goods.
Ihe Yankee 'rikisha manufacturer
competes on prices first. He sells vehi
cles as good as the native product at
as low as $16 and no higher than $40,
I American factory methods permit turn
ing them out In large numbers on the
duplicate system. He also competes in
quality, malting jinrikishas with ball
bearings, bicycle wheels and cushion
tires at $80.
Different types of 'rikisha are made
for different countries. The vehicle is
common in Lagos, Ceylon, and many
other localities, each of which has its
preferences In the way of weight,
height, hoods, bells, lamps, colors, and
cushions. The New Jersey factory also
supplies the "pousse-pousse" used in
Madagascar. It is -i variety of jinriki
sha with hood and springs.
Another is the "Korean cab," which
is nothing more than an improvement
on the clumsy Chinese wheelbarrow,
with its single wheel, familiar as a pas
senger vehicle in all Chinese cities.
The "Korean cab" has a 'single wheel
fitted with a pneumatic tire, and seats
one passenger, the seat being placed
high over the wheel. Coolies in front
and behind balance and propel it, and
the vehicle is capable of good speed.
When the Yanke 'rikisha was intro
duced on the west coast of Africa, it
was so much lighter than the vehicles
previously known that the first Zulu
who drew one presently stopped, lift
ed the vehicle and its passenger to his
head, and wanted to carry It that way,
being easier. American wheelbarrows
were Introduced about the same time,
and a contractor who supplied them
to his Fanti laborers, returning in a
few hours, found them all being car
ried water-jar fashion. ,
CHARMS THAT BRING LUCK
Superstitions of Bridge Flayers
Houses and Seats That Are
Unlucky.
It is now obvious that the portion of
society which takes its gambling seri
ously it is a very large portion in
deed has become very superstitious.
An instance in point is the buying of
the ankh which, as now sold in Bond
street in gold and jewels, is extremely
popular, says the London Daily Mail.
The ankh is the sign of life, and
consequently of good luck striving
against bad; a symbol of Egyptian
origin composed of a headless cross
attached to a stirrup circle.
Gambling has always gone hand in
hand with belief in the efficacy of
charms, but the fair votaries of bridge
go much further and there are end
loss little ceremonies which are sup
posed to militate for or against their
chance of winning.
A charming lady who might, with
out undue conceit, have styled herself
"one who knows," quotes an instance:
"Whenever you cut for a fresh deal
or after a rubber," she said, "the one
who cuts lowest has, as you know, the
choice of cards and seats, and they in
variably turn the winning people out
of their seats and choose the winning
pack." Sometimes they elect to sit
against the hinges of the table, be
cause that is the lucky side.
As for the charms which are sup
posed to bring luck, thocr name is
legion; the most favored are little
dwarfs, lucky sixpences and the New
Zealand greenstone.
- It must not be supposed that these
superstitions are confined 1 to the
ladies. Two well known card players
at White's are extremely proud of pos
sessing some pieces of a hangman's
rope, and from the possession of these
trophies they date their good luck.
Certain houses are considered lucky
to play in, though of course a house
which is lucky for one player may be
unlucky for the other. Particular clubs
also are much in favor among card
players.
' Extravagance for the Dead.
Burial customs were once modest
with our people. But complicated and
costly living appears to have made
simple dying impossible, remarks the
New York Mail. We run to weak os
tentation in the surroundings and
trappings of mortality. It is necessary
to obtain this, to purchase that; it is
the only good form, nothing else will
do. -It is the consideration of the liv
ing that we think about, not the sim
ple respect due the dead. We forget
that the costlier the earthly memorial
we erect the shallower may be the rec
ord that we cut upon the tablets of
our hearts.
Compensation.
"I am sorry," said the doctor, "but
your little girl will not be able to
speak for several days!" ?Then it
will be safe," said the anxious moth
er, "for me to invite the minister to
