TOR TRAMP PRINTER.
Passing of a Once Familiar Figure
' in Newspaper Offices.
Shawnee (Okla.) Herald.
What has become of the old-time
printer, once so familiar before the
invasion of the linotype machine?
He used to show up with the first
frost. You found him in the office
early some October morning, toast
ing his back before the stove. His
first request was, “Boss, may I look
over the exchanges?" and he was
soon pawing around among the pa
pers on the editorial table.
By 9 o’clock he had levied suffi
cient tribute on the boys to get a
shave and a'drink, and after dinner
he was picking up brevier in a way
to make an expert envious. All
winter he worked as steadily as a
clock. Many were the stories he
told around the back room fire on a
Sunday afternoon. Though without
much education, his very wander
ings had made him an entertaining
personage.
In the spring, however, when the
tiny bees buzzxed lazily against the
sunny window pane and the' lilac
buahes in the courthouse yard were
putting forth their fragrant laven
der plumes and the night air was
pungent with the odor of burning
brush piles and sweet with earthly
exhalations of upturned sod and ev
erywhere could be heard the laugh
' ter of children playing In the twi
light, a change came over the spirit
of the tramp printer. He felt the
call of the road, with its luxurious
days of animal delight under the
clear skies of spring, with its privi
lege to work when you wish and idle
when you will. He wished to see
the boys again, to visit the fifty of
fices where he had friends.
So one Monday morning in mid
April when you entered the office
you missed his form at the case, the
month’s familiar figure with one gal
lus down and a short oil-stained cob
pipe protruding from under a slight
luminous nose. Yet, with all his va
grant Impulses, you felt kindly tow
ard your nomadic brother in the art
preservative and were ever ready for
him to come again.
Before it is too late some gifted
pen should tell the story of the
tramp printer. It is one teeming
with romance and the very best pos
sibilities of good literary effort.
True, to-day almost every office has
the remorelesS speedy and ever
vailing machine, but no one can wax
either enthusiastic or reminiscent o
ver a mere machine.

INDIAN THE SOUTHWEST.
Passing of ll> Lborlngines of Ari
zona andV New Mexico.
Outer's Book 1 ly.
There are n New Mexico a
bout 25.0001m We have "re
duced'' their it 25 per cent,
within little more than half a cen
tury. Our "civilizing" influences
seem to be more destructive, propor
tionately, than the guns and torches
and slave-driver's whips of the Span
iards. There are twenty schools In
New Mexico, with an average attend
ance of seventy-live pupils. About
one-third of this number attend the
reservation schools. The others pre
fer the private or "pay" schools.
At the time of the American con
quest there were about 60,000 In
dians in the "arid valley" of Arizona,
n l e than half that number being
Apaches. Now there are only about
15,000, the Apaches being reduced
to about 3,000. The Apache* refuse
to be civilized—the remembrance of
the frequent “Apache wars” of the
past generation still rankles in the
revengeful breasts of the remnant of
this once powerful tribe. Tourists
get a glimpse of the descendants of
these once “noble red men,, at the
railway stations in Arizona, New
Mexico and California. At the hot
town of Yuma about 1,000 "friendly’
Indians live on the banks of the riv
er, and subsist by selling trinkets to
travelers. The money is spent most
ly for' "firewater.” These vaga
bonds are known as "Yuma Indians,'
having lost not only their possessions
but their tribal name. They are the
lowest of their race, and are not a
pure type. The same may be said
of those at Tucson, and at other
oolnts along the railroad.
At Albuquerque, Santa Fe and at
other points in New Mexico, a mild
type of the Pueblo Indians is seen,
with his baskets, blankets and trink
ets, which he offers to sell to his
white brother. Some of them cling
to their native dress, but it does not
seem to fit them any better than
their new civilization. A sadder
type still is seen at the railway sta
tions in the Mojave desert, and at the
mining camps in northeastern Ari
zona and southern California. They
have reached the loweBt stage in hu
man degradation and have combined
all the vices of civilization with the
' loss of their manhood. It requires
only a short mental calculation to
estimate the date of the extinction
of the red mep of the Southwest.
Changes on the moon's surface,
especially near the crater Linnaeus,
are now recognized by Pickering,
Barnard and others. It is concluded
that the diminution of a white patch
must be a melting of hoar frost at
sunrise and that the deposition and
melting of frost must be taking place
in other parts of the moon.
According to Chinese law, a wife

FIBST AID fWiHE DHOWNING
Two Cases of Resuscitation After a
Long Time in the Water.
New York Sun. ,
The following directions for res
uscitating a seemingly drowned per
son are published in the current
launch:
First-- Loosen the clothing, place
the face downward with the forehead
resting on one of the wrists, and the
face turned to one'fctde. Open the
mouth; seize the tongue between the
Angers, covered with a handkerchief
or piece of cloth, and draw It for
ward between the teeth; clear the
mouth and throat from mucus by
passing the foreAnger, covered with'
a handkerchief or piece of cloth, far
back into the mouth, thus opening a
free passage to the windpipe.
Second—Turn the body face up-J
ward, shoulders resting on folded
coat or pillow; keep..tengusr^ffBVn
forward; raise the arm backward ami
upward to the sides of the head;
this expands the chest and allows
the air to enter the lungs. Then
slowly move them downward, bend
ing them so that the elbows will
come to the sides and the glands
cross on the pit of the stomach, and
press them gently but strongly a
gainst the sides and chest. This
forces the air out of the lungs. Con
tinue these two movements, which
produce artiAcial breathing, very
deliberately about ten or twelve
times In a minute, and without ceas
ing until the patient breathes nat
urally, or until satlsAed that life is
extinct.
Third—While this is being done
a little friction on the chest may be
produced by rubbing gently with
warm Aannel, and the body may be
stripped and then wrapped in dry
blankets.
After natural breathing begins
continue very gently for a few min
utes the two movements which pro
duce artiAcial breathing.
After natural breathing is fully
restored give the patient a teaspoon
ful of brandy, hot sling or tea two or
three times a minute until the beat
ing of the pulse can be felt at the
wrist.
Rub the legs and arms upward ana
the feet and hands with warm or
dry flannel. .
Apply hot cloths to the body, legs
and arms and bottles of hot water
to the feet.
. Do not be discouraged if anima
tion does not return in a few min
utes. The patient sometimes recov
era after hours of labor.
Do not allow the tongue to fall
back and blose the windpipe while
the arms are being worked.
Do not rub the legs and arms un
til natural breathing Is restored.
Do not put any liquid in the
mouth until natural breathing is
fully restored.
Do not roll the body or handle it
roughly.
Do not allow the head to hang
down.
There have been two recent and
striking illustrations of the fact that
the resuscitation of the apparently
drowned is to an unsuspected extent
a matter of patience and persever
ance.
The New York life saving service
reports the case of a man who was
revived after he had been under wa
ter twenty-three minutes, the work
of resuscitation taking over a day.
At Atlantic City a man was revived
after he had been in the water ten
minutes. He was worked over for
an hour or more.

Perhaps you’ve read the short sto
ry that has been published of late in
all the papers about Miss Tillie Root,
of Webster, N. Y., who has such
beautiful hair that none other in
WebBter can compare with it.
At' one time Miss Root had faded,
harsh and falling hair, but as site
says herself, after using two bottles
of Parisian Sage she now has the
finest head of hair in town.
. Parisian Sage will make any wo
man's hair soft, lustrous and luxur
iant, and it is such a delightful hair
dressing, that once used it is always
preferred.
Parisian Sage is the most invigor
ating antiseptic hair restorer known
to mankind. It is guaranteed, rig
idly guaranteed, to cure dandruff In
two weeks, to stop falling hair or
itching scalp, or money back.
It is a highly satisfactory dress
ing for summer use, because it drives
away all disagreeable odors, and
leaves the scalp cool and clean.
J. H. Kennedy & Co., the drug
gist, sells it, and guarantees it.
Price is only 50 cents for a large
bottle. Ask J. H. Kennedy & Co.
about it, or you can buy it direct at
the same price, express charges pre
paid, from Giroux'Mfg. Co., Buffalo,
N. Y. 14-18.
Patient—Doctor, I don’t think I
can use the battery any more. Will
it be necessary to shock me again?
Doctor—Only once more; I’ll send
in my bill to-morrow.

Reserve.
Manufacturers’■ Jtecord.
For the purpose of furthering Its
aggressive campaign for forest re
serves in the White Mountains of
New England and the Southern Ap
palachians. Appalachian National
Forest Association has determined to
establish its headquarters at 514
Metropolitan Bank Building, Wash
ington, D. C., with Mr. John H. Fin
ney, secretary and treasurer. In
charge. The association has recent
ly 'elected as its president Mr. D. A.
Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C., one of
the representative and progressive
men of the South, and in accepting
the office Mr. Tompkins has sound
ed the following strong rally cry:
"In accepting, as I do, the presi
dency of your association tendered
me to-day by yourjgJaA I~de6lre to
briefly express my appreciation of
your action and my realization of the
responsibilities this position imposes
upon me.
"To my mind the preservation of
remaining forests, and of our Sou
thern forests particularly, presents
the largest economic question which
we of the South to-day face.
"This is not only true as regards
our future timber supply, but is of
very vital concern to our climate,
our waterways and water-powers,
our domestic water supply and the
health of our people, our agricultur
ture by the prevention of Boil eros
ion and floods, etc.
"The work already done by the
Appalachian National Forest Asso
ciation has merited my warmest com
mendation, and I welcome some
share in it as a patriotic duty to the
South and to the nation which can
not be evaded.
“We must have the Appalachian
nnd White Mountain forests. We
will have them.
“But they must be but the begin
ning of our work, for important as
the Appalachians are, they are over
shadowed in importance by the work
involved in the perpetuation of ths
forest areas in each State, which
must have action by the several
States if they are to be saved.
"Let me outline this State duty.
“Each State should appoint a State
Conservation Commission to co-oper
ate fully with the National Conser
vation Commission just appointed by
President Roosevelt.
“Each State should establish a
•State forest’—as large a one as pos
sible, or small areas scattered
throughout the State, under control
of a State forestry. Each State
should revise its tax laws on forest
lands, so that its citizens can afford
to hold forest areas, cutting there
from only mature trees. Each State
should pass stringent fire laws and
adequately enforce them, that the
woeful waste from forest fires may
be stopped.
“Each State should aim to educate
the citizen* owning forest lands to a
sense of his duty to himself and pos
terity and to the State.
“Our association is the rallying
point for this great work; our ob
ject is well worth ail the time -and
energy we can put into it, and we
ought to have behind ua and active
ly aiding us every patriotic man and
woman in the South; every Board ol
Trade or Chamber of Commerce; ev
ery Woman’s Club; every Civic
League or similar public organiza
tion ; all the splendid manufacturing
interests there.
“We ought to 'have and must have
a branch of our association in every
Southern city. ’ We ought to have
forestry mass-meetings in all the im
portant Southern cities, so the real
facts and the Importance of them cat
be put before the people.
“This is a large conception, though
thoroughly justified by the existing
conditions. It means unremitting
effort in the State and in the nation
al Legislatures, but the plans of the
association comprehensively and ad
equately cover the work, an'd will
I am sure, merit and receive the ac
tive support of the entire South.
“We are pledged to the work until
the forests are saved.” '
Fertilize Your Business.
The Reading Times.
The business man who doesn’t be
lieve in advertising belongs in the
same category wltn tne larmer wnc
doesn’t believe in fertilizing the soil
The husbandman can gather sev
eral successive but constantly di
minishing crops from the same piece
of ground without restoring to It the
lifegiving elements'of which he roba
it; but there comes a time when,
completely exhausted, the land re
fuses to respond to agricultural en
treaty.
The business deprived of the stim
ulating influence of publicity fur
nishes an apt parallel—gradual fail
ure, ending in complete paralysis oi
its functions. Advertising, like fer
tilizing, is mighty cheap in propor
tion to the money value of the
growth it promotes.
No Friend of Loafing Negro.
Charlotte Chronicle.
Lexington, Aug. 5.—Henry Hayes
a well-to-do colored man of this
place, approached a party of idle ne
groes at the Southern station and
asked one to help him two hours un
loading a car of coal. The negro
said he didn’t want to get dirty for
such a small job. Hayes didn’t do
a thing but swear out warrants for
the lot of them and three were ar
rested and fined $4.60 for "vagran
cy.” Hayes, who has accumulated
perhaps $5,000, is not a '"lend of
the loafing negroes.
The Next Legislature.
Wilmington Star.
It Is Impossible to tell at this time
what will be the attitude or the per
sonnel of the next Legislature. Of
course, the majority of the members
will be Democratic, but whether it
will be a radical or a conservative
Democratic body cannot yet be told.
But the natural supposition is-that
it will be a more conservative body j
than the one which met in January |
1907, for we believe the people have
grown tired of the radicalism dis
played by the members of that ses- (
sion. The more conservative action I
of the same members at the extra
ordinary session of the next year <
shows that the Legislators had felt |
the public pulse and found that it
had toned down considerably. There
was not such a popular demand for j
unjust and hostile legislation against
railroad and other corporations at ■
the session of 1908 as there was at
the previous session and we believe
there will be far less at the next ses
sion.
France was, in 1907, the world's
chief wine producer as well as con
sumer. The total crop for the year
was 146,000,000 hectoliters. Of this !
French growers produced 66,000,,
000 hectoliters. Italy was repre
sented by 33,000,000, Spain by 17,- 1
000,000, Portugal by 4,000,000, Ana- '
trla by 3,000,000 and Germany by
2,000,000. <
