CHILDREN DO
HORSE'S WORK
Bitched te a Plow, They Tara Up
the Tarf'ea Wiscon¬
sin Fans.
NECESSITY, NOT CRUELTY
Tragedy of Race Increase la Punier
Dumdie’s Story—“We Like to Plow,"
Say Brave Children When
Neighbors Interfere.
M . .
Four children, one of them a girl,
stood around August Dumdle, their fa¬
ther, at Oshkosh, Wls., offering a bul¬
wark Of loyal flesh and blood to the
wrath of neighbors who branded the
man cruel, Inhuman and a brute.
Dumdle was seen first by neighbors,
then by an officer of the humane soci¬
ety, driving a plow to which four of
his children were hitched. The little
ones were harnessed to the plow, and
they dragged it like horses. At first
sight It seemed monstitfps, and the
neighbors arose In out «7 against the
farmer’s Inhumanity.
But they did not know Farmer Dum-
die’s story and, not caring, did not ask
it. His story does not reveal cruelty.
It Is the story of a life tragedy on
which even President Roosevelt and
all champions ef race Increase might
ponder.
Reduced to Its lowest terms, this Is
Dumdle’s story, .explanation and de¬
fense all In one:
“I have worked hard on this farm all
my life. I have been getting poorer
and poorer every year, and more chil¬
dren kept coming until the house is
run over with them. But I love them
anyway.
“I have been sick and so has my
wife. I broke my arm and could not
work? I kept them home from school
during the planting season for ten
days. What of It? Have any of these
men around her® raised as many chil¬
dren as I have?
“If a man has got to raise so many
children, what Is he going to do with
them if he Is poor?’’
Durndie lives near Wooden Shoe al¬
ley, five miles north of Oshkosh.
At the gate a crippled dog met the
reporter sent to Investigate the plow¬
ing story and. finding no energy to
bark, crept back to a pile of old bones
by the bam. A woman came to the
door, her arms dripping with soapsuds,
for Mrs. Durndie has to take In wash¬
ing to help things along. Behind the
Woman two children played on the
DRIVING A Plow TO WHICH POOR OP HIS
CHILDREN WERE HITCHED.
floor. The woman gathered the small¬
est candidate for field work Into her
arms and sobbed out her troubles.
“The children like to work with the
plow,” she said. “It Is light, and my
husband pushes It hard.’’
Farmer Durndie was willing to sit on
the plow and talk. At mention of
the plow he led the way without a
word to a bam overflowing with bro¬
ken down farm Implements. It show¬
ed the same poverty as the house. The
man pointed to a wooden plow made
of rough tree limbs with a long tongue
and four prongs.
“There It Is,” he said In a tired way.
“Is that too much for my boys and
girls to pull? They like It. I push hard
on the handle, and It’s easy. It Is not a
plow anyway. It Is a cabbage rake.”
The reporter pointed at the horse.
“What’s the matter with the horse
pulling It?” he asked.
“The horse was sick,” he said sullen¬
ly. Then bis eyes flashed. “What busi¬
ness ~ls It of the neighbors anyway? I
love my children. I would not mistreat
them. Ask any of them If I ever was
cruel to them.”
Then came the children, eight of
them. A great hubbub arose at the
presence of a stranger. Otto and Hen¬
ry and Freda and Fred, who had taken
the place of the old white horse, were
barefooted, ragged and shy.
“Do you like to pull the plow?” they
were asked.
“Sure,” said Fred stoutly, glancing
at his father, then away to where the
lake shone through the trees, where
came the aound of other boys shouting
In the “old swlmmtn’ hole.”

CALL FOR HARVESTERS
of Men Said to Imperil
Kansas Wheat.
8TODEHTS DEPENDED ON
Appeals For Help Is 8w«eri»* Umt
Crop Beforw It Spells Bela* Seat
Oal—Competittoa Pas Labor Stron¬
ger Than Kver Before—Scheme to
Employ Small Offender, la Jails.
Kansas Is sending out the strongest
appeal of her history for men to work
In the harvest fields, according to a
special dispatch from Topeka, Kan.,
to the New York Herald. The difficul¬
ties of the last few years to get enough
help to garner the wheat Indore It be¬
comes dead ripe and shatters lu the
gathering will be Intensified this year
If the advance signs are any tokeu of
what la to come. At least 235,000 more
men thau are now In sight will be
needed, and If need be there will be
resort to desperate measures to draft
men into the service' behind tbe self
binders. Already a move to empty
tbe jails of small offenders has been
made.
Competition this year for labor is
stronger than ever before. There seems
to be no surplus of Idle mffli any where.
Appeals have been addressed to the
employment agencies of Chicago, St.
Louis and other large Western Indus¬
trial centers. The answer has come
back In almost every Instance that It
Is Impossible to fill the orders. Fac¬
tories are running at full capacity all
over the country. Building operations
are going on on a scale exceeding any¬
thing of the kind In past years. These
activities, In addition to the many pub¬
lic Improvement* that are going on,
have absorbed tbe bulk of the labor of
the country, skilled and unskilled,
One of the heaviest drafts for men
comee from the railroads In the north¬
west. In that region extensive road
building Is going on, and with all the
efforts at colonization not enough men
have been obtained to make tbe prog¬
ress desired' by the railroad manage¬
ment. To supply the deficiency for the
rallroltds alone effort is making to di¬
vert the tide of Immigration from New
York to the gulf ports. Several weeks
ago It was announced that 50,000 more
men could be acceptably used In the
southwest. Every demand from that
source Increases the anxiety and woes
of the western wheat producers.
Farmers were comforting themselves
prior to the settlement of the bitumi¬
nous coal strike In western states with
the satisfying belief that they would
be able to draw on this line of Industry
for men to help them temporarily In
the fields. The coal strike Is now set¬
tled, the men have returned to work In
the mines and that hope has vanished,
Kansas Is looking elsewhere for assist
ance.
New York city and other far eastern
centers have been appealed to for aid.
Tbe same dearth of labor exists there
as is experienced In the western cities.
Thousands of men who might have
been counted on have gone to San
Francisco, attracted by the fancy
prices for common labor said to obtain
In tbe demolished city which Is now so
energetically rebuilding.
As In recent years, much store Is set
by the sturdy college men who are
finishing their year of study. Hun¬
dreds of these men who have worked
in the wheat fields are coming back
this season. Those of athletic training
are hardened for the most exacting la¬
bor In the fields, and they are much
sought after by the farmers. During
the cutting and thrashing season many
of them will make money enough to
sustain them during half the college
year.
The flat had gone out unofficially that
there must be no idle able bodied men
in Kansas at harvest time. The street
loafer who can work will be obliged to
work or leave the state. Locffl authori¬
ties in cities and towns hitherto have
co-operated with the agriculturists In
enlisting the whole available force for
field work. They will do ao again thla
year.
A movement of that kind Is already
on. In several of the famous wheat
producing counties of the state, like Sa¬
line, Benton, Stafford and others, farm¬
ers have made arrangements by which
men confined in county jails and city
prisons for finable offences may be re
leased, provided they give their word
to accompany tbe farmers to tbelr
homes and. work In the harvest fields
at remunerative wages. This system
will save both the state and the farmer
a vast deal of money, and It will give
the prisoner a good chance to regain
his liberty.

The Oka pi.
Through Afric’s hidden heart I roam
In regions seldom trod by mas;
My rainbow hues light up the gloam
As far as mortal eyes might scan.
What wonder science sighed to see
A living, breathing okapi!
My face Is yellow whits, my pate
Is chestnut, while my sides and test
Are mottled, and I beg to state
I am not good for men to eat.
O'er swamp and desert, dry or sloppy,
Unhindered roves the rara okapi.
The puny horse must feel forlorn;
The proud giraffe, oh. where Is he?
Pooh, pooh, thou fabled unicorn—
My neck ts thick, my horns are three!
E’en man seems-humbled since his eye
Ksui viewed the glorious okapi.

And tribute to e*clusl**_ ways
That poets can’t pronounce my name
When sounding paeons in my praise.
Yet none the less It makes them happy
To sing the newly gained okapi.

Sears’ Jamaica
Rheum
The Only Absolute Cure Ever Discovered for Chronic Rheumatism
What it is:
Jamaica Rheumatic Cure waa first placed
upon the market by Mr. Patrick Sears, a
druggist (it Arthur, Illinois. It soon won
a wide reputation in Centrtd Illinois be*
causeof its remarkabiecares.The severest
cases of Chronic Rheumatism yielded to a
few bottles of the new remedy. People
who had suffered agonies tor twenty years
sad tried every known medicine, a* well
as the most famous mineral springs, with¬
out tetri'* lug any benefit, Cure were cured by
Jamaica ' Rheumatic — and they
stayed cured.
After a thorough investigation Jamaica we be¬
came convinced that Rheumatic
Curs possessed greater merits than any
other remedy for rheumatism ever placed
upon the market, and that it could be
conscienciously recommended to the suf¬
fering. We therefore accepted an offer
from Mr. Scars, exclusive and purchased righttomanufac¬ the for-
mu’ t -- d the
ture and sell Jamaica Rheumatic Cure,
in this and foreign countries.
Jamaica Rheumatic Cure is not a "mi¬
raculous discovery” scientific nor the compound result of a
dream. It is a of
those medicines which have been proved
to be the hist remedies for rheumatism.
It combines the best of these remedies
in what patient research and a long
course exactly of the experiments right proportions havqjjroved bring to the be
to
desired result. You might take each of
these ingredients separately, or combine and
them in the wrong proportions re¬
ceive but little benefit.
This great remedy contains neither
Opium,' Laudanum, Salycilateof Soda—all Cocaine, Salycilic
Acid nor of which
art poisons, usually depended upon by
nearly all so-called rheumatic cures to
deaden tbe disease—they pain. These narcotics afford never only
cure any can
momentary relief, and the troubles are
eventually made worse.
Jamaica Rheumatic Cure isjiot,a cheap
nostrum or "cure-all.” It doea just
what we claim for it, and no more. It
cost* more to make than any other med¬
icine on the market. It ia made not
•imply to sell, but to cure. It is a strong,
powerful the good effect ipedicine and after you taking begin the feeling first

dose. '
While Jamaica is not claimed to be a,
quick pain reliever, in few some cases it re¬
lieves the pain in a days, while in
othera it takes longer. with Many severe esses
have been cured from one to three
bottles. It is not claimed that this amount
will cura all cases. People differ, and
the disease also differs in its nature.
Hence the variation in the quantity re¬
quired. We have never yet found a case
hat could not be cured with from one to
six nottles.
The only absolute car* ever discovered
for rheumatism and its kindred diseases
is Jamaica Rheumatic Cure. It neutral¬
ises end dissolves the excesses of uric
acid in the blood. It corrects and
strengthens the kidneys, potting them in
condition to t-'row eff fhe poison ia the

COAL TAR JUBILEE.
A Oknlitt' Clnb’s Celebration la
Honor o t Professor rerlcla.
As was hoped, the movement to cele¬
brate the fiftieth anniversary of the
coal tar Industry has become an Inter¬
national affair, say* the New York
Post. Scientist* of Germany, France,
Belgium, Italy and America have
adopted England’s plan to commem¬
orate Professor Perkin’* discovery of
the first aniline dye, “mauve." Under
the auspice* of the Chemists' club of
New York a celebration will take place
late In September In New York city.
The jubilee will be attended by a large
number of America’s most prominent
scientists; also by John Bigelow, re¬
cently minister to France; Joseph H.
Choate, ex-ambassador to England; Al¬
fred C. Coxe, Judge of the second Unit¬
ed States circuit court of appeals; Pe¬
ter S. Grosscup, judge of the seventh
United States circuit court of appeals;
Comptroller Herman A. Metz, General
Horace Porter, Secretary EUihu Root,
Judge William K. Townsend and
Judge William J. Wallace. Others In
attendance will be presidents of the
largest American universities and
promlaent patent lawyers, who are ac¬
tively Interested In the celebration.
Professor Perkin himself probably will
be present.
Aside from tbe practical advantages
which have resulted from the discovery
made by Professor Perkin In 1866, the
science of chemistry has profited won¬
derfully. Particularly in America,
up a new field In tbe creation of new
compounds possessing wonderful phys¬
iological properties, and the materia
medics consequently has been enrich
ed by the addition of hundreds and
even thousands of new remedies which
were not previously known. Including
such as phenacetln, anttpyrtn and saloi.
In connection with the jubilee there
will tie a banquet and a symposium on
the progress of synthetic ebemtstry, In¬
cluding the results in relation to theo¬
retical chemistry, the arts of dyeing
and calico printing, the production of
new remedies, antiseptics and per¬
fumes. It Is Intended to present to
Professor Ptririn an appropriate token
of appreciation of bis services.
A prize to be known as tbe Perkin
medal will be established and awarded
annually to the American chemist who
•hall have rendered ffie most Impor¬
tant service to the science of applied
chemistry In the previous year. An¬
other feature of the jubilee will be the
foundation of a national library of
chemical works and periodicals situat¬
ed in New York and emulating of a
permanent reference library and a du¬
plicate circulating-library dlbrapf for the ben-
eflt of chemists throughout iroughou the United
States.
The surviving passenger* and the
traimnent describe the sound of the
wreck as like the discharge of a se-
rlea of heavy can:
