Thia brings up to 1898 and the troubles

Miners waa getting along all right. Then
something happened. An Irresponsible

not mean this, but I do say Chat Orchard

METHODS OF FRENCH MUTUALISTS
Masrle Inflaenee of the Motto, "One
for All, All for One" Progress
of similar Systems In Ger
many aad Aastralla.
So Ideal la one of the latest applications
of the Golden Rule that It may eclipse
anything yet heard of In the world.
Imagine yourself 111 or old at the stage
where the human machine haa ceased to
support you without money, with no friend
or relative to tide you over the stream of
distress. Perhaps, too, there are helpless
ones dependent upon you.
Mark what occurs. In Germany, see a
sympathetic burgher run his hand down
Into his great pocket, pull forth a coin and
place It In a bank to your credit; In Hol
land, a fisherman halts at a "stab" long
enough to add his mite; the gay Parisian
ceases his revelry to make a contribution:
a Brittany peasant pauses In response to
a new Angelus. the tocsin of mutual aid.
In Sweden, Switzerland. Italy, men and
women, too, give from their savings to
help the afflicted and aged a touch of
nature has made the whole world kin!
Utopian chimera? No, but more probably
one of those actual events of the future
which cast their shadows before. Plans
ere under way to establish an International
society to make universal the motto, "One
for all, all for one' France already has
such a society, with 4,0O0,(KH) members
and soon a great world congress at Nice
la expected to make It a reality.
Thus may Thompson's story of "The
Blind Man and the Paralytic" become i.o
fable the one without eyesight, but with
physical strength, will bear upon his ba'-k
his less robust brother, whose eyes shall
serve to direct the course.
In Germany there Is already a compul
sory worklngman's pension fund, to pro
Vide against Illness or superannuation;
Australia haa a pension system; Great
Britain seems on the eve of adopting ono.
In the Vnited States there are many ex
cellent fraternal organizations, but no co
hesive fraternity, backed by national pro
tection. Will this be changed? France has
a most wonderful system which may serve
as a model.
The French iyatera.
Born of hard necessity was the principle
of mutual help which In France has at
tained such remarkable proportions.
It has been tried for forty-five years
first aa an individual trial; the, In 187S,
made stable by the protection of the law,
and ever since Increasing constantly In
length and breadth. It Is today a bi
reality, no aentlmental theory.
These French "self-helpers" and they
compose the biggest society In France are
practical people who realise the benefit
of solidarity.
The scope of the original mutual aid
society of France was limited to the plac
ing of dues used to sustain afflicted per
sons, to bury the dead, provided that death
came promptly or illness waa quickly cured.
As the first step to improve the system
came the notion to admit honorary memberswell-to-do
persons wbo might con
tribute to the expenses, but not share the
advantages.
Thus was realised tn full fruition the ele
mental principle of mutual aid of the blind
man and the paralytic.
How were the rich benefited? In the
knowledge of doing good, obtaining' tho
goodwill of their less prosperous brothers.
It was one of the richer members who
suggested for one of the societies the
motto: "The darkness about us Is made
light when we lighten a brother's load."
A Magpie Motto.
So those magic words, "One for all, all
for one," spread over France. Various In
stitutions were formed, according as par
ticular demands arose, and were centered
In a common union.
They took such names as the Society of
the Bread of Mutual Help, which was for
the general welfare of Its members; the
Milk society, for the purpose chiefly of
securing pure milk for babies; the Maternal
Mutuality, a sort of clearing house of Ideas
on the care of children and the home; the
Family Beneficial society, whose chief ob-
; Ject Is a relief fund In sickness or distress;
: the Endowment of Youth, with the object
hof enabling young men to accede to bank
accounts upon maturity by depositing their
, early savings; the Mothers' Help, the Qra
j tultous Loan society and others.
Practically every profession In France
haa Its own Self-Help society, and all have
i thetr central connection with the Federal
Union of Mutual Help societies in Paris.
Years of experience have evolved an Ideal
working law for the complicated organisa
tion; there la an arbitration board which ar
rangea disputes between societies and Indi
viduals; there are provisions for the easy
transference of a member from one society
to another, If he desires, without losing any
of his rights; character of candidates for
membership Is so scrutinized that proper
personnel Is assured.
lleneflrial Results.
Another beneficial result of confederation:
As a rule the Individual societies cannot
aftord to carry a 'sick member for longer
; than six months. In spite of this, by meana
of a small aasesment on all the societies of
a department, the union at the end of six
months will take charge of all cases and
maintain the sufferers until demise or com
plete cure.
Moreover, at the Instance of a reasona
ble number of members, the union will se
cure physicians' services and rav druggists'
j bills for the afflicted, which services can be
secured on much more advantageous terms
by the union than by Individuals.
Again, If the local druggist refuse to give
materials on the terms common In such
rases, the union Is empowered by law to
establish mutuallstlc drug stores.
There are already thirty-five such phar
macies In France. Paris has two, and es
tablishment of twenty more is now under
consideration. Of these institutions It' Is
said that they can sell first-class drugs at
a rate 3) or to per cent lower than Is orlt
narily paid for even drugs of questionable
purity.
Dispensaries and sanitariums are being
bunt by the union.
But, without doubt, the most generally
praised feature of the system Is that It
permits the guarantee of a certain pension
to members upon retiring from labor It
baffles the wolf of old age.
Practically all the beneficial aoqietles In
the country are amalgamated with the
central onion. They represent an aggre
gate membership of 4,000.000 In 14,000 so
cieties, with total paid-in resources of tM,
eM.oo. Naturally, the law encourages a system
which prevents pauperism, thus minimising
ths need for poor houses and hospitals, and
which tends to lessen crime, thus limiting
the need for Jails and penal Institutions.
So the French government subscribes a
frane (30 cents) per member each year to
every society based on mutuallst Iprtnclples
and gives a half frane a year per member
to those societies which are not "full mu
tual" that is. which aim at only one of
those objects, relief in sickness and relief
In old age.
But ths elate gives preference to the old
age side of the societies It each year adds
aa amiMint equal to a quarter of ths In
vested sum for an old age pcaatoa fund.
Since alt of the union's money Invested
brings an interest of 44 per cent. It will
be seen that the societies are well prepared
for the visit of misfortune.
Good fsr the Mate.
Prominent among the advantages which
France claims for Its mutuallst system are
the facta that It reduces the expense of
tax gathering and takes care of the Indi
gent with less .expense to the individual,
since privately managed Institutions are
always more economically managed than
those run by the state.
These figures show how mutualism has
grown In France:

Yes, Indeed, and to find them one must
go to a country which hue In many other
respects taught advanced methods to the
rest of the world Australia.
In New South Wales, Victoria and New

respect fur outclassing those in Great

GREATEST GAME OF BUNCO
Frensled Financiers Pnt I'p Liber
ally for Prospective Con
cessions In China.
To rule the young emperor of China
after the death of the aged empress, to
give government concessions worth scores
of millions of dollars to a half dozen
American . capitalists and make himself
one of the world's wealthiest men such
was the scheme of J. Edward Boeck, mies
Ing soldier of fortune, as revealed by him
self to one of his Intimate friends.
And despite the fact that he is now
under indictment In New York for steal
ing several hundred thousand dollars
worth of Jewelry from Maiden Lne deal
ers, It waa openly hinted In the financial
section that he never will be prosecuted,
that the losses to the Jewelers will be
repaid by the wealthy men back of him
and that his amazing scheme for the ex
ploitation of the Celestial empire will be
put through. Papers in ths save in Boeck'
office are said to contain complete detail
of the startling program and efforts will
be made by powerful influences to prevent
these records from becoming public.
The complete record of Boeck's career
from the time, seven years ago, when he
was a car. tracer at $40 a month, to the
day of his . disappearance, on May 10,
reads more like a romance of long ago
than the accurate story of a man of the
present day.
Why when he had millions in sight,
when he could have obtained $1,000,000
at any time for any purpose he might
name, he should take a few hundred
thousand dollars' worth of Jewels and
I flee is Incomprehensible to his friends.
They believe the theft of the Jewelry was
, but a contributing cause- for his flight
j and that . there is some other feature to
the case which will startle the community
when It becomes known.
1 It was to a man from whom he hsil
borrowed thousands of dollars and from
whom he expected to borrow still more,
that Boeck told the details of his gigantic
scheme for the granting of Chinese con
cnncesslons. In a nutshell, he said, he had
the young emperor of China "in the palm
of his hand," and that as soon as the
empress died, she being opposed to his
schemes, he would go to China, be the
power behind the emperor and run things
virtually as he pleased.
His associates, he declared, were men
whose names are well known in the realms
of high finance and who stood ready to ad
vance to him any amount of numey neces
sary for his program. They were to build
I railroads, get mining concessions and to do
government work, which would net them at
least $100,000,0(10. To begin, they were to
, operate a steamship line between New
I York and Shanghai. Boeck had partly
I completed the plans for the line, and, ac
: cording to his statements was to receive
fcJ&O.OOO, as. well as a largo Interest In the
company's stock for his work of organiza
tion.. Boeck did not boast to the man from
whom he borrowed for the purpose of get
ting large loans. That was not necessary.
He always guve him Jewels as security,
and no questions were asked of him. He
understood that any sum he wished up to
$60,000 he could obtain aj any time from
1 tha n-ion tn vhnm he revenleri ht nlanl
As proof that he was on friendly terms
with Influential Chinese, he took the Chi
nese minister to the office of his friend
two years ago, and the three discussed
Boeck's experience in China and his re
lations with the Imperial government.
That Boeck had a personal acquaintance
with the youthful emperor of China was
well known among certain financiers. It
was known to them also that he had met
the empress and dined with her, and that
she thought well of him. -New York Herald.

at $t0,000.
Former Partnership Involved.
The remainder of the amount Is made Up
of Items going back to the former partner
ship of John O. Haines and Nathan Mer
riam in the grain business. Tills period
runs rom February 1, 1S5S, to July 22, 1902.
During this period the railroad la alleged
to have paid the rebates to the two firms
previously named and to R. EX Pratt A Co.
The petition stales by reason of rebates
granted at this time the old firm waa. dam
aged directly to the amount of $10,971.03 and
Indirectly, by reason of loss of business, to
the amount of $10,0. The company sues
for hulf of the flrit named sum and the
wholo of the second, asserting that Mr.
Haines secured his half of the money In a
suit brought In 1904, and refuses to Join in
this suit. Mr. Merriam, the petition states,
has assigned his share of the claim to the
plaintiff company.
The petition Bays the rebate of 1'4 cents
per 100 poundB Is paid under the guise of
an elevation charge, because the recipients
of It unload the grain from the Union Pa
cific cars and reload It for shipment east,
giving the railroad immediate use of their
cars. The plaintiff says this is a fictitious
claim, as It has been required to do the
same thing all the time and has not been
paid the elevation charge.
WYOMING'S HERMIT FREAK
' -
Odd Character Believed the Human
Body Waa Made WronaT
End I'p.
By tte death of Cyrua Mullim, who lived
near Gillette, the state of Wyoming, If not
the entire west, has lost its moat eccentric
character. Mullen was known all through
out Crook county as "Upside-Down Mul
len." Jle was a sort of a hermit and lived
In a log hut twenty-four miles west of Gil
lette. Comparatively little was known of
the man further than that he was living
there alone, as he never talked to people
and always tried to avoid those he met.
It waa knou.i, though, that Mullen had In
his younger days been an acrobat In a
circus. His age was variously estimated
at from Jo to 66 years.
Crazy? Well, no, not In the full sense of
the word. It was known In the vicinity of
his home, however, that Mullen was not
right on at least two subjects. They were
the makeup of the human body and the
protective tariff. Once In a great while
less than half a dozen times he had writ
ten communications to' half a dozen news
papers touching on both subjects. They
were printed and made great sport of by
the editors to whom they were sent.
"The human body," he once wrote to a
Kelton paper, "was made wrong end up.
Why should the feet be on the ground ami
the head up, when the head is the heavier
end? Gravitation calls for the head to be
downward, that the resistance forced on
the backbone be thus loosened. Walk on
the hands at least half your time. Any
perjon can do It with a little practice. I
do, and I am one of nature's noblemen.
Cyrua Mullen."
Another time Mullen wrote this same
paper a communication concerning the
tariff. "It la all wrong," he wrote. "Too
high, too high on leather. Shoes cost En
tirely too much. Walk on your hands, peo
ple, as I do and as nature decreed you
should, and save shoe expense. Blessed
be the man who walks on his hands and
thus obeys nature. Cyrus Mullen."
It was figured out by the wise ones, in
Crook county that Mullt'n had learned to
walk on his hands when he was an acro
bat. That training had not left him and
he was able to live up to his erasy "up
side down" notion. Persona driving to Gil
lette would meet him once in a while. Al
ways he would be either standing or walk
ing on his hands. About every 100 yards
Mullen would regsln his feet to rest. Then
he would flop up on his hands again and
away he would go.
People could never approach him from
the front. If he saw them he would make
away In haste across Hie range. Those
who did get near him came up from behind
and, quietly, too, for the old man had
sharp ears. While walking om bis hands
Mullen would wave his feet In the air and
frequently rlap them together. It was start
ling, Indeed, to come upon him suddenly.
Once an automobile came through Gil
lette and It frightened the horaos terribly.
But it brought no such fright as they used
to get from Mullen when he came down the
road walking on his hands. Many a run
away was caused In Crook county by the
appearance of this strange upside down
man In the road. Mullen seemed to be able
to walk on his hands as well as he could
on his feet. He had monstrous bands,
made so by the peculiar use to which he
put tham.
The hermit was not morose man. No
body ever heard hlin sing a song or crack
a Joke, to the knowledge of Crook
county people, but on numerous occasions
when observed from behind whilst upside
down he was noticed to stop by the road
and execute a little dance, putting hla hands
on the grassy trail and keeping time te
something, probably a low whistle. Often
he would stand fur a period of as much
as a minute on one hand while he ar
ranged his clothes with the other.
Where Mullen rame from nobody knew.
He appeared at the little cabin, long be
fore dtserttd by sums squatter, one July

LODGE SECRETS GUESSED AT
Significance of Certain Alphabetical
Symbols I'aed by a Feminine
Order.
It Is a very human trait to enjoy a
secret, and that is why there are lodge
and societies. Secrets do not grow of
themselves for everybody, and so those
who do not have them Invent them and
haye grips and passwords. It promote
a thoroughly enjoyable 'fee'llng' of guilt,
especially envious outsiders are always
guesnlng at the secrets, and what the
lodges are for.
Hut the person who has studied his Foe
and his Conan Doyle need never be at a
loss to read there alleged riddles. Induc
tion, or deduction, analysis or synthesis,
according to his habits of mtnd or his
Idea of what words mean, will enable him
to resolve the moat cryptic things.
Just for Instance: There Is the women's
lodge called the "P. K. O." No member
of the lodge will tell what the mystic
letters mean, snd from the capitalization
and punctuation the superficial observer
Is led to believe that they are initials of
words, and vainly speculate in that direc
tion. But the mind trained In "psycho
logical research" we wish we knew rnt'rely
what that means will proceed to consider
"P. K. O." In this wise:
It Is the feminine nature to deceive.
Therefore, P. E. O. In Its beginning will
not represent what It appears to repre
sent. It can then be only "Pw ." That
is the first half of "people." It Is the
men who are tho "pie." With the men
"pie," pronounced "1," we are the people,
say the "P. K. Os." We sre the first and
greater half. The men are simple 'l"
with which we all agree.
Now we have the "Tellow Plners." a
society of men of which the local lodge
recently gave a function in Glen Echo.
Resolving "Tellow Plners" Into Its con
stituents (th masculine mind Is less subtle
than the feminine), we have "yellow" (sig
nifying Jealousy, envy and old age) and
"plners," thono who pine. Thus we com
prehend that the "P. K. O." larks the
"pl," and that the "Yellow Plners" are
anxious to be the "pie." In the interest
of humanity we suggest that the "P. K.
O." and "Yellow Plners" amalgamate and
Join themsnlve to the "Hoo Hoos," thus
making of the completed organisation the
"Hoo's Hoo's" of America. Bt. Louis
