Joseph Fels to Use His Wealth
Against the System Under
Which He Acquired It
SCORNS OTHER RICH MEN
Calls Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Mor
gan Robbers Through Unjust Laws,
Although Personally Honest John
D. Mild and Harmless.
Chicago. "Cnrncglc, Rockefeller,
Morgan, nnil other captains of Indus
try are robbers, nnd their millions are
Ill-gotten fjalns. We cannot get rich
fast enough nowadays without rob
bing the public. 1 admit that I, too,
have robbed the public, and I am still
doing It, but I propose to spend the
nccursed money In wiping out the
system by which I nndc it."
Joseph Pels, a millionaire manu
facturer of soap, made this statement
in talking to fellow-dluers at the Uni
versity of Chlcigo Settlement. He
was the guest of honor, the hostesses
being Mrs. W. F. Dumtner and Miss
Mary McOowcll. His remarks were
in amplification or a briefer state
ment that startled" members of the
City Club whom he had addressed at
luncheon earlier in the day.
Under a lire of questions Mr. Fels,
who has tied from the Lp. Salle Hotel
to c.-viipc the appeals of fortune hun
ters, Incited by reports that ho intend
ed to divide $5,000,000 among "tho
worthy" enplaincd his plans to "Mulct
hit conscience" by heavy expenditures
of his "robber wealth."
"1 do not believe in charities," ho
said. "They are agents of pauperiza
tion. Neither am I a philanthropist.
I have in mind no plan to aid institu
tions of mercy however worthy they
may be generally esteemed."
"Rockefeller and other millionaires
have accumulated their wealth
through unjust laws, especially under
the tariffs protection," ho said, "and
because of these laws I, too, have
robbed the public and am still robbing
it. I am not responsible for these
laws, but am doing, and intend to do,
what I can to change them."
"How are you getting rid of your
robber wealth?" Mr. Fels was asked.
"For one thing," he replied, "I am
Interested in spreading the single tax
propaganda throughout the world. The
movement is active In the United
States, England, Canada, South Aus
tralia, N w Zealand. New South
Wales, 1-onmark, Sweden, and other
nations."
One of the C'.mrs who knew volun
teered the Information that this work
was costing Mr. Fels SloO.OOO a year,
as, he duplicated, dollar for dollar,
every contribution made to the cause.
A house of public speakers, trained
in the argument against "land monop
oly," are kept in the field.
"If we had an educational fund of
Jl.000,000 a year," said Mr. Fels, "we'd
upset the world in twenty years as to
economic conditions. I will be one
of twelve to supply 'the funds."
Maryland, a model town, 50 miles
from London, also has been the recipi
ent of about 5150,000 of Mr. Fels's
"conscience fund," or "swag," as he
calls his wealth.
"I Intend to use my money," ex
plained Mr. Fels, "to force into use
land that Ib being held for the Incre
ment. I do not believe in speculating
In land values, Ii is an enormous
swindle. As a business man and land
owner I have taken advantage of
monopolies which private ownership
of lands gave me: lands which rlghfc
fully belong to many Instead of the
few. Tho tariff Is a further pauperiza
tion of the toller for the benefit of the
monopolist Perhaps I would have
made n fortune despite tho laws, but
I want to bring Into operation condi
tions of equal manhood, conditions
under which all have an equal
chance."
Mr. Fels said he did not mean that
he nnd Rockefeller and Morgan, and
Carncglo had been personally dishon
est in the accumulation of their for
tunes. "John D. Rockefeller," he contin
ued, "Is a mild, harmless man with a
mistaken Ideal, but personally honest.
None tho less, he is a robber."
MEDIAEVAL PRACTICE REVIVED.
Husband Compels Wife to Thrust
Needles Through Wax Image.
Paris, The mpst curious feature of
the cruelties practiced by Parat, the
apothecary gf the Hue Vauglrard, up
on V wife was the revival of tho su
perstitious practice Introduced la
France by tho Italian necromancers In
the time of Catherine do Medici,
He constantly accused his wife of
unfaithfulness, and compelled her
hour after hour, under fear of death,
to thniBt needles through a waxen
Image supposed to represent the other
man, whooe tragic end was thus, la
Pnrnt's opinion, assured.
Canada Seeks Homeless Boys,
Ottawa, Canada. Lord Mount Ste
phen, formerly President of the Can
dlan Pacific Railway, has placed BO'
curltles amounting to 1300,000 In the
hands of trustees to be used to foster
desirable DrltlBh immigration to Can
ada. Hoys from Dr. Bernardo's home

V'2I MORE FATAL THAN PLAY
Dr. H :t-Hncon Includes Wine, Worn-
an ant! Song In the Lat
ter Category. j
lnl'inapolls. Spunking nt tho con
fernce of hygiene of tho National
Education Association, Dr. WoodB
Hutchinson of New York said:
"We hear much about tho terrible
ravages of death among those who
enjoy themselves. They call It the re
sult of diseases of play, hut tho dis
eases of work kill their hundreds of
thousands, while only hundreds of
thousands succumb to tho diseases of
play- even including dissipation and
wiue, woman nnd song.
"We say usually that when a man
gets old he docs not enjoy himself
and that he does hot havo any pleas
ure. We say that when a man gets
old he quits playing. The fact is that
when a man quits playing ho gets old.
"And It In said, too, that play costs
money, and thnt you cannot play with
out money. It Is always the things
that are expensive and luxurious that
mon desire for their amusement and
pleasure. Hut this Is wrong, ton, for
the very ben thirty-for our plays are
the free things. They are the things
that cost nothing.
ThU bns-ebs.ll should bo an Impor
tant part of the education of children
nnil thnt every schoolboy, and, per-hap.--,
every sthoolgirl. should play the
gar.'e. is the opinion of William A,
Strerher. director of physical trnin'ng
in the public schools of Philadelphia,
expressed In the conference of hy
giene of the National Education Asso
ciation In this city.
Karli school should have a baseball
club and the clubs should visit each
other's grounds In the fashion of tho
professional leagues, Strecber added.
Increasing attention must be paid to
strengthening the bodies of children
if their mentality Is to improve, he
pointed out. and ho nsserted thnt ot
all games baseball provides tho best
and safest exercise.

CAUGHT A WHITE MUSKRAT.
Rare Albino, Say the Old Trappers of
the Jersey Swamps.
Caldwell, N. J. James Marsh, who
malics a business of trapping In tho
Big Pice swamp near here, captured
anbino muskrat. The cieature has
pure white fur and pink eyes.
Old hunters and trappers, who
have killed many hundreds of musk
rats every spring for many years In
the lowlands bordering the upper
courses of the Pasaic, Pompton and
Rockaway rivers, say that they never
before have seen an albino muskrat.
The usual color of the rodents is
brown, sometimes shading almost to
black.
Marsh has spent tho last two
months hunting nnd during that tinio
has secured more than 150 skins of
the dark colored muskrats. These with
tho skin of several mink, sunks and
possums will net him about $150.
AND HER NAME WAS "MAUD."
Mule Killed a Dear, According to
Farmer's Story,
Huntingdon, Pu, Daniel Shawley,
a local farmer, tells a story of how he
escaped deatli through the sagacity of
a net mule, which kicked a black bear
to death Just as It was giving Shaw
loy a death hug. Shawloy has lost sev
eral sheep through hears. This morn
ing ho went on a hunting trip with a
shotgun. Ho had iircd the two barrels
nt a bear when It closed wltli him.
Shawley whistled for "Maud," tho
mule. According to his story, "Maud"
ambled to the scene of tho struggles
and let fly with both heels, killing the
bear. Shawley exhibits a dead hear
weighing 292 pounds to prove bis
story.
May Smoke at Home. '

JACK'S EASTER,
1IKB the domes nnil pinnacles of
u city celestial glittered the Icy
4 range of the Snngre tie Crlsto.
The vnlley was sprinkled with
Iris nnd columbine.
The brenth of spring softly stirred
the pines In the canyon. Brimstone
Gulch nwoke to Easter morning
awoke with bloodshot eyes and slinky
hands.
There had been n hot time tho night
before nt Sandy Pete's saloon. But
this morning Sandy Pete, with his
cohorts, wns busily employed In slick
ing up, for there were to bo Easter
services held In tho place for tho first
time In the history of Brimstone Gulch.
This was the way of It:
Tho young wife of the superintend
ent of the Lone Star mine, whom
every man, Womnn,
child nnd dog in the
camp ndored, had
taken matters into
her own pretty
hands.
She hnd imported
n gospel sharp from
Denver and hnd
formed the children
of the camp Into a
chorus and taught
t lieiii tho songs for
the Any. She had,
moreover, the night
beforn invited tho
boys, Including
many of the tough
est nnd most prom
inent citizens of
Brimstone Giileh,"JACK- '.".V Y0U,!'
up to her cottage m.m..
to hour the rehearsal of the Easter
music.
It all came back to Huerfnno Jack
ns he lay under the pines this morn
ing, t lie scene of the night before the
sweet, dainty lady In her white gown,
tho sound of tho piano, tho soft lamp
light and the happy voices of the chil
dren ringing out In the hymn:
I've found a friend In Jesus.
He's everything to mo;
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
Tho Lily of the Valley.
In him alone I seo
All I need to cleanse and make me fullv
whole.
The words were set to swinging
music, and nil the boys had whistled
the tune as they came down the trull
from tho superintendent's cottage to
the snloon.
They rang now In Huerfano Jack's
bend. Cattle thief, desperado, mur
derer as he was, he was trying to bum I
them:
He's the Lily of the Valley,
The bright and morning star,
lie's the fairest ot ten thousand to my soul.
The Lily of the Vnlley she had the
room full of the dowers the night be
fore; she wore them on her breast; she
gave a spray to each one of the boys
ns they came nwny. Huerfano Jack
turned suddenly and pressed bis fierce,
scarred face against u withered clus
ter of the tiny white bells pinned on
his rough corduroy jacket.
A rustle In the pines; a pallid, ter
rified face peering down nt him. "For
God's sake, Jack, hump yourself!"
whispered Monte Jim. "BUI Wilcox,
the sheriff from Pueblo, nnd two of
his deputies nro nfter you for thnt
business in Trinidad. Get across the
gulch if you can and lose yourself on
the other side of the range. Run like
mad!"
It wusJust nt the moment thnt the
superintendent and his wlfo wnlked
toward the open
door of the saloon,
with their clerical
guest from Denver,
that Bill Wilcox
tired at the skulk
ing tlgure In the
pines close by.
Huerfano J nek
ran forward a few
steps, threw up bis
h u n d s, t u r n u d
around and fell at
the feet of the
lady.
She s c r en in ed
once and then sank
on her knees be
side him, taking
his bend on her
arm and trying in
vain to stanch the
WITH DIVINE I'lTY
blood from the great hole In his breast
with her dainty hnudkerchief.
"Oh, poor man poor man!" she sob
bed. "Oh, why did you kill IilinY" she
nsked ns Bill Wilcox came up, his
revolver yet smoking and his bulldog
face white nnd stern.
But before the sheriff could nnswer
Huerfano Jack spoke In a singularly
clear and farreiichlng voice: "Because
I am u thief mid murderer. But. mis
erable dog that I sun, you, lady, havo
given mo the only happiness I have
ever known,"
His glazing eyes sought tho lovely
face lillcd with dlvluo pity bending
over hlni. Perhaps she read tho peti
tion In those dying eyes.
She unfastened tho lilies In her gown
and gently laid them over his bleeding
breast.
The voices of the children rung out
from their dual Easter rehearsal In
the suloon:
He's the Lily of the Valley,
The bright and morning Btar
Huerfano Jack smiled. "The lily
of the valley," he murmured.
Ills hands suddenly closed tensely
over the (lowers on his heart.
He's the Lily of the Valley.
In him alone I see
All 1 need to cleanse and make me fully
whole,

Uie saloon,
Tho clergyman from Denver lifted
his hat.
"Let us pray," ho snld solemnly "lot

CATHEDRAL hells, with their hol
low lungs,
Their vibrant Hps and tholr brazen
tongues.
Over tho roofs of tho city pour
Their Joyous Kaster music with Joyous
roar
Till thn soaring notes to the sun are
rolled
As he swings aloft In his path nt gold.
"Dearest papa," says my boy to me
As he merrily climbs his father's knee,
"Why are those eggs that you seo me hold
Colored so finely with blue and gold?
And what Is the beautiful bird that lays
Such beautiful eggs on Easter days?"
Tenderly shine the April skies,
Like laughter and tears, In my child's bluo
eyes.
And every face In the street Is gay.
Why cloud this youngster by saying nay?
So I cudgel my brain for the story ho
begi
And tell him tho tale of the Kaster eggs
"You have heard, my child, o One who
died,
Crowned with keen thorns and crucified,
And how Joseph, the wealthy, whom God
reward,
Cared for the corpse of his martyred Lord
And piously tombed It within the rock
Anil closed the gates with u mighty block.
"Now, close by tho gate a fair tree grew.
With pendulous leaves and blossoms ot
blue,
And deep In the green tree's shadowy
breast
A beautiful singing bird sat on her nest.
Which was bordered with mosses like
malachlto
And held four eggs of Ivory white.
"Now", when tho bird from her dim recess
Hoheld the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face so pale
And tlif dear feet pierced with the crue
nail
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden pang
Ami out ot tho depth of her sorrow she
sang.
"All night long till the morn was up
She sat and sang In her moss wreathed
cup
A song of sorrow as wild anil shrill
As tho homeless wind when It roams the
hill.
So full of tears, so loud nnd long
That the grief ot the world was turnec
to song.
"Hut soon there came through the weep
Ing night
A glimmering angel clothed In white.
And he rolled the stone from the tomt
away
Where the Lord of the earth and hcavei.
lay;
And Christ arose In the cavern's gloom
And In living luster came from the tomb.
"Now the bird that sat In the heart of tht
tree
ncheld the celestial mystery,
And Its heart was llllc-d with a sweet de
light. And It poured a song on the sobbing
night;
Notes climbed notes till higher, higher.
They Rhot to heaven like sparks of fire.
"When tho glittering white robed ange.
heard
The sorrowing song of the grieving bird
And heard the following chant of mirth
That hailed Christ risen from the earth
He said, 'Sweet bird, bo forever blest,
Thyself, thy eggs and thy moss wreathec

"And ever, my child, since that blessec
night.
When death bowed down to the Lord oi
light.
The eggs of that sweet bird changed theli
hue
And burn with red and gold and blue,
Reminding mankind In their simple wa
Of the holy marvel ot Easter day."
Fltz James O'Brien.
Tho Thorn Crown.
The thorns that had crowned tht
nrow of the King fell In a crimson
wreath at tho foot of u cross upon a
hill called Calvary, anil they cried tc
the darkness to hldo them from the
sight of men to shadow thoni forovei
beneath the night's black wings. And
welcome was tho dark to them and nil
the thunder of the skies. But when
tho night was done ami light came
with the morning white roses bloomed
above them, so that the red upon theli
spears was hidden, and men, behold
ing, innrveleil nt tho llowers, nor saw
the thorns that had wounded the brow
of the beautiful King. Ami the name
of tho roses wns Love even that Love
which shelters' In Its own bosom the
shaft that wounds It and makes earth
and heaven sweeter with forgiveness.

HOW PRISONERS CONVERHE.
An Exchange of Criminal Records
During Psalm Singing.
A mnn who was sent to Jail In Glas
gow, Scotlnnd. recently, for threo
days, for a small offenco, was greatly
Impressed with the precautions taken
to prevent the prisoners engaging In
conversation. There seemed to bo
wardens everywhere, n.id no one was
allowed to utter a word.
On the Sunday he was In tho church
the Psalm given was the Old Hun
dredth. Beside him were two old
Jail birds, and instead of the orthodox
words beginning "All peoplo thnt on
earth do dwell," this pair sang a hymn
of their own In conversational style,
which went something as follows.
First convict sings;
"How long are yon in for?
I am doing sixty days.
I nearly broke n copper's Jaw.
Sing low or else they'll maybe hear."
Second convict replies:
"You are a lucky pl-cnn.
I've got twelve months to serve.
Tried to break into a house;
Somebody must have given me away."
By this method they exchanged his
tories during the singing.
Reason and Instinct.
If reasoning consists In "drawing o
conclusion or deduction from two ot
more premises," it would be exceed
ingly unscientific to deny the royal
lacuit) 10 many oi iiiu au-caneu low
er animals, since It has been demon
strated that they do most unquestlon
nbly draw such conclusions. The ver
dict of modern science Is clearly to
thd effect that animals reason as
sharply ns man, although not always
so nr'i n- nvr ro wide a range.
