Patterson & Co-- - JACK LONDON AMONG THE UPERi On his way around the world for the Woman's Home Companion Jack London visited the lepers of Molo- kai. on the island of Hawaii. "Leprosy is not so contagious as is imagined, writes Mr. London in the January Woman's Hp me Companion, went for a week's visit to the Set tlement, and I took my wife along all of which would have not hap pened had we had any apprehension of contracting the disease. Nor did we wear loner. gauntleted cloves and keep apart from the lepers. On the contrary .we mingled freely with them, and before we lelt knew scores or them dy aignt ana name. The precautions of simple cleanliness seem to be all that is necessary. On returning to their own houses, after having been among and handling leDers. the : non-lepers, such as the Dhvsicians and the superintendent. merely wash their laces and hands with mildly antiseptic soap, and change their coats." If it were given me to choose be tween being compelled to live in Mo lokri for the rest of my life, or in the East Lnd of London, the Last hide of New, of the Stock Yards of Chi cago, I would select Molokai without debate.

Perhaps you'd think he was a greedy man a dollar-worship ping man, witn a heart iiKe steel and with no sympathy for his -fellow man. i Solomon Marsh.

It is said that ;one Sunday he attended services at a chutch that held to a different creed from that of his faith. He was de layed a little and when he reached the church it was crowded and ithe preacher had begun his sermon. He quietly sat down at the door step and in that humble attitude listened ' at tentively to the sermon. As the preacher warmed up on his doctrinal sermon-he began to throw mud thick and fast at other denominations, The old man Marsh boWed his head in meditation. Finally he raised up. looked back over his shoulder and ad dressed this remark to the n re-eat-J ing sectarian preacher : 1 "Preach ths gospel, -nd let , other people alone !"

Horse-Shoeing. ; The white line in the hoof of the horse is of much importance to the shoer. since its distance from f the outer border of the hoof is the thick ness of the wall, and all nails should be driven in this white line. The bar of a bar-shoe should rest on the branches, of the. frog. The best shoe is one whose branches have a wide and level bearing surface. The average rate 01 growth 01 a horse's hoof is about one-third of an inch a month. i If a heavy shoe at a yellow heat be held tightly pressed against a hoof which has been pared too thin, seri ous damage may be done. j The horse owner should insist Upon the nails being driven low. They should pierce the wall not more than an inch and five-eighths above the shoe. . - T ' ; ' Street was Strewn With Bags of Gold. Chicago. December 30.

SALOON KIIPtR POURS LIQUOR INTO 'STROT. AUaata Journal, jotk. Red wine and srolden booze ran aown tne gutters of Decatur street yesterday afternoon and: Dan Gavag han, saloon keeper at W Decatur street, who was pouring' out the liquor folded his'- arms across his breast, looked at the crowd that nzed upon the remarkable scene with wonder stricken eyes, and exclaimed in his rich Irish brogue "This symbolize- the denarture of . . . . uquor from Georgia and marks the new era in mv life wheri I will h. 1. it i come a prohibitionist.

Dan uavsghan has always kept one of the most orderly saloons in city. : He is good-natured and he has friends by the score. Yesterday he went over his stock of liquors and estimated what he thought he could get rid of between that time ana 10 o'clock Tuesday night, when all the liquor houses in state would close their doors to open them no more. After he had taken stock he decided that there was a barrel of wine and a barrel and a uiul wt wuisay wuitii uc wnuiu newt: had no use f0r. So in the afternoon half of whisky which he would have he invited a few of his friends to his saloon to witness the pouring out; of the wine and whisky into the street. It was thought that Gavaghan was going to play one of his Irish jokes. for which he was noted, but he was very much in earnest, tie had a negro to roll the three barrels onto the sidewalk. The" bungs were knocked out and the liquor began to flow down-the gutter. 1 When the last drop had dripped from the barrels, Gavaghan threw back his shoulders, raised bis head and said: i VI will try to sell what little liquor I have left between now and Tues day night. I have poured out what I believed might be a surplus. When my saloon closes Tuesday night I will step out a prohibitionist. ,lne cere mony just witnessed was a token of that great event." The Vanishing Teddy Bears. Atlanta Constitution. Reports from New York dealers confirm the statements of merchants in every section of the country to the effect that the "Teddy bear" craze is rapidly approaching its finale. For which facts the contingent of sensible Americans will send up a prayer of fervent thanks. j Starting as a perfectly legitimate resource of childish amusement, the fad gradually attained the propor tions bf a national obsession. The counterfeits of bruin evolved in size and expense until the 'gold lace element of New York society paid as high as two and three hundred dol lars for a single specimen,; the price lumping startnngiy when jewels or precious metals were used in , the construction.

In many instances these costly fetishes took the place of the wheezy and squat poodles which were Wont to ornament the! carriage seats of the motherless faction of metropol i tan society though we are not sure that as between the two, preference Was not to be given the inoffensive and unspoilable little imitation bear The only factors who have a le. gitimate right to mourn the passing of the craze are the children and the dealrs. And the former will not be long in finding some substitute with the kindly assistance of the latter. Negroes and the Newspapers. Lexington Dispatch.- , P r - Has it ever occurred to you that the newspapers of this country owe something to the colored race jither that recording - day after day the crimes that negroes commit? What newspaper - within your .range- 0: reading gives any space to the colored race to promote the best interests 0 these people? ; You cannot name one We hold them up to ridicule, we show , humorously their dense ignorance and quaint views to make white folks laugh, and we tell with unfailing regularity of the worst they are guilty of, not forgetting to say "big black brute" and narrate hdw he was lynched. Now al negroes ares not bad. There is many a good man among them, it is rare that we notice him. We owe it to him to notice him,- tell of the good work he does not only to encourage him, to 1 encourage others- of -his people. The newspapers of the south have not given the negro a square deal. Possessed of all theprejudices incident to white life in the south we nevertheless submit that we as newspapers treat the colored mm badly and we ought to do better than we have done. By doing so we will contribute to our own welfare. Most Hypnotic Stunts are Fakes. Spartanburg, December, 31. A.
