Here is the story the traveling
man told Conductor Quigglefon the
ears while traveling between Har
ri.sburg and Williamsport. Said the
traveling man: “1 was down south
on a business trip some months ago
and I did a pretty fair business for
that section One evening I got
into a toprn where I expected to do
some trading, and after having sup
per I sat on the hotel veranda smok
mg when I noticed a crowd coming
down the street and there efts con
siderable excitement apparent. As
the crowd drew near I saw j! was a
lynching party. About 100 men had
a rope and they wero hurrying along
a colored man who had been caught
| fed lynching handed in some crime for which
is the penalty in that sec¬
tion. it was a wild, crazy mbb that
had the man, and I’ll never tell you
what impelled me, but I jumped up
and went alon I- O’ catching fyold of
-
the rope as I ran. A mile belbw the
town the end of the rope was thrown
over the limb of a tree and the col
ored man was strung up and the end
of the rope fastened, Then those
who had revolvers took turn* at fir
ing shots into the dangling corpse.
“The next morning after I had
breakfast I went out for a walk aDd
passed a barber shop. 1 needed a
shave and 1 went iu and took a seat
iu the chair. The barber.w& a col
ored man, and I recall now Hud he
looked at me in a peculiar wny as I
entered the shop, hut it did not im¬
press me at the time. He lathered
me in a slow, deliberate Wcy, and
then he got out bis razors, shopped
one ot them carefully and prepared
to shave me. As he drew the razor
down over my right cheek here
marked, ‘You is a stranger in dish
yere town, isn’t you, suh?’ Yes,’
I said,‘I came last night.’ ‘I saw
you last night, I 10 remarked,
‘Where was IP I asked. ‘You had
hold of the rope when you passed
dish place.
“My heart sank down to my shoes
andIgave myself upto silent prayer,
This man had me at his mercy,
He could have cut my throat with
one swish of his razor, and he knew
it and I knew it. ‘I saw you again,’
he said. ‘Ww-whereP 1 ;sl:eft.
‘Down at de hangiu. You had hold
! of de rope down here too.' ‘Y-yos,’
I gasped. I thought sure my time
had come, and that he was just
: playing with me as a cat plays with
a mouse, and that he was secretly
enjoying my terror previous to giv
ing me a final stroke. But he calmly
went on shaving me, and as he
rounded up the stubble ou the chin
he remarked: ‘You is from de uo’th,
suh, where de colo’ed man has his
rights, suh. You ought to know
bettah dan to hang a pore colo’ed
mau down in dish yere part of the
country where he don’ git no trial.’ j
“And that ended the conversation, j
1 wanted to badly in '
never run so
my life, hut I was powerless, and 1
was weak as a baby until lie got
through. When he him had used his j 1
whisk ou me, I gave a quarter
and told him to keep the change and
left the shop. Say, if you ever hear .
of ino rnixiug into a lynching bee ;
again you want to have me placed in
an asylum. That taught me a les- ;

BRIBING THE INSPECTOR.
"rZgnZJliJZr WV
Whether or not the customs au
thorities of American ports are in
earnest in theiratternptstosuuurera
bribery the sad no' fact is that it goes
on, though by means to the ex
tent commonly supposed. It goes
mumd public opinion does not sup
press it. To dodge taxes and to
bribe custom house officials, to de
ceive the assessor and the inspector ‘
are venial sins in the eyes of many
people who would not cheat their
neighbors or steal a cent. When
public opinion does not frown on a
public practice, however sinful or
criminal that practice may be, it is
hypocritical in a writer to content
himself with ail abstract donuncia
tion of it. Let me leave the right
and wrong of the thing to the mer¬
alist and take the more practical
course of pointing out the folly of it.
To the fashionable woman who
tries to smuggle in $1,000 worth of
laces I have nothing to say. To the
man who sews diamonds in bis
clothes I have nothing to say. My
advice will he solely to the traveler
who brings home with him a rea
gonable amount of clothing and the
ordinary mementos and bric-a-brao
one picks up in a foreign tour. Such
a person wastes every cent he gets
stealthily into the hands of an m
spector. Uncle Sam is not petty
and inquisitorial in this matter. He
seeks to tax only those who make
large purchases abroad. It would
not do for him to say in so many
words that you can bring in a pack
of playing cards, but not 2 packs
or 10 packs or 100 packs. Bathe
isn’t going to turn your trunk up
side down for the sake of finding a
solitary pack of cards. He is will
ing you should bring in clothing to
au extent and of a quality suitable
to your station in life, and he says
so. He is willing you should bring
in such curios ami souvenirs of
slight value as you cau easily carry
in your luggage.
When his representative, seated
in the cabin while the boat is com
ing up the harbor, asks you to sign
a statement that you have uothiug
dutiable, he knows perfectly well
that the chances are 100 to I against
your being able to make that State
ment and yet tell the truth in the
tiniest detail. It is, in short, a case
where everybody recognizes that
the spirit of the law is of more im
portance than the letter.
Even if you have with you the re
suits of such purchases as the fram¬
era of tariff legislation meant to
reach, it will usually be obeaper to
pay the duty than to bribe. Sup
pose it does cost you $10 to $15
more, isn’t it better to have a clear
conscience, and, besides feeling that
you have done the square thing to
Uncle Sam yourself, know that you
have tempted none of his employees
to violate his oath, as well as run
the risk of losing his place? Par
don this bit of moralizing. lt is
meant merely to emphasize the ad
vice 1 would give to would be smug
glers, the same advice that Punch
gave to those about to marry—don’t,

It is an odd theory, yet no doubt
the correct one, that the coast area
of Europe has probably had more to
do with the commercial and social
supremacy of that continent than
any other cause. Investigation will
show that Europe has a mile of coast
for every 1(54 square miles of its
land area, while the Americas,
which rightly come next, have 359
square miles of land to every mile
of coast. Asia has 370 miles and
Africa 530 square miles to each mile
of coast. The low order of oulture
