The Training of an Anarchist.

BY IX-OHIEF HAZBN OP THE UNITED STATES SECRET SIBVI3E,

Ife Is not everyone who can bo an Anarchist. Real Anarchists of the Czaigoez type do not become Anarchists ia a day or a moment, An Anarchist capable of killing a king or a presided ia educated up to his task through long years of training, Brat this is not all. He hap to pass through ss system of tests which would try the nerve of a lion tamer. Most persons imagine thai; all one has to do in order to be an Auarchist is to declare his belief in the absence 0? government. But that is not the case. Anarchists are known by their works aßVfflliaß by their faith. The mere tntiouncetoeot of a Bfct of princ;p'es without any effort on the part of the believer to do something toward the furtherance of " the cause " counts for nothing in the Anarchist world. The fundamental principle of Anar obiam consists in the theo-y that »11 government is wrong. They start out by announcing this doctrine. Then they follow it to its logical con clusion I—

If all government is useless, what steps most be taken to bring about a state of Anarchy—or absence of go vernment '

There are two methods for sccoap lishing this object:—First—Persuasion through lectures, disseminatin of litera ture aod and a well-organised system 0! proselytising. Second—Force. THE ANARCHIST'S FIRST STEP

The first thing a would be Anarchist does oa adopting Anarchism is to begin reading literature treating on that subject. Having read Anarchistic Hcerattsra tind loafed around for a couple of years, a young Anarchist begins to think thy things are moving too alowly. Pc is anxious to distinguish himself for the canse-—to do something that will make him famoQi.

When he is ripe for mischief the yocing Anarchist announces at one of tbs Anarchist meetings that he is ready to doanytbfng to advance the c^use of Anarchy. His fire and enthusiasm carry him «way. He begs to be given some mission of importance—this mia fiion being, of course, the killing of some ruler.

Bit, despit® all the apparent haste »nd impatisQce of Anarchists, things move rather slowly with them once it has been definitely decided to l! do something important," When an Anarchist h»s proposed his name ay an eligible candidate for the •removal' of a ruler he is not necessarily accepted at once. There may be a hundred other names before his. Each one of these men is pat through a rigid course of examination which may ex lend over a period of many years. For instance, the plot to kill theOhiff Executive of the United States may have been maturing for five or ten years. All during that time men 10 do the act have been undergoing their tests. TESTINO THE "KILLING*' MEMBERS,

Each member of the "killing list" is followed and watched from the time bis name ie selected ants! the day ap pointed for the 'removal' of the victim At the very last moment he may be dropped from the Hat owing to some Httlfi characteristic of his disposition coming to light And thus the weeding process goea on until the man has been finally chosen for bis great 'duty.' Aa the meetings of Anarchiate—3S prcWly of the chosen ones who are ex pected to remove rulers—are always of the most secret kind I cannot say ex« actly what these testa are. I have been told, however, by one who has been in the innermost counsels of Anir chists that the trials of the accepted matt are 0! ihe ssvereat kind.

His physical health ia one of the first c >nßiderationi?. His ey es'.ght mast be faultless, Ma hand steady and his powers of endurance and self restraint abnormal

IVsjive an Ides of a 'test,' be may be suddenly approached in coma lonely place'by h»lf a dozen men, who cover biro with ravolvers, aad tell him to pre pare for Immediate death, or Sir may be leissacl and banged until half dead in order to make him confess tbat he. is an Anarchist and intend? the eomameion of some crime against the State

If, under these circumstances, ho weakens and *' squeals' he is dropped and another selection is made. It is on account of having passed through iinch ordeals as these that you find Anarchists who have committed great crimes so nervy in captivity

Anarchists selected for these under takings are only tested for their mental and physical qualities—they must be trained also in the nee of weo^onp, They constantly practice tho use of the revolver and tbe dogger. For instance before JBresci went to Italy it was his habit to practise shooting nearly every day. In order to become expert in the art of using a stilletto Anarchists have been known to set up dummies «nd Dtab them.

DRAWING LOTS FOR THK ASSASSIN. When a man has pone through all thes© tests—by fire and water, a§ they cay—by .death and tortare, by. threa tened'violense, by sadden surprise— after he has been watched and hounded and has passed through the ordeal suc cessfully, he is finally chosen from among others who have submitted to the same tests. There may be eight or ten others who have pissed through the ordeal, and from these his name is chnsen by lot Theee lots are remarkable. For ; Instance, there may be ten namea to be drawn. The drawing t«kest pla 1"© in the tnosfe sreret manner possible. Usually the actual names are not employed, a symbol standing for each person,, s E?en after ths selection has been mudo' none bat the party himself kmiws that he has been eWseo, After the t ymbol of each man's name there ie a peculiar mark, tbe meaning of which is only known to the chief Anarcniet who has ernclacted thc mzking. The mfin who gets tho "sigh of death" does not himself know whufc it means. Each mm in tbo lottery thowß hie sjmbot to the chief. Tha men go awty, none kaowiiag who h»s been chosen to-1 do the deed. When they are ill sepa rated the cMof tells the man who has received the "death symbol" what he ie expected to do, tnd from tbat time on ward, w I have ssid, h\& every raoustafc

is watched. After a man h»s taen dtfini'ily chosen he is subjected to other tests evea more trying than the first ones. Thoexmctnatuie of these fiua! trials I am n--t acquainted with, nor is any one else, fir no Anarchist, when once I chosen, c uli impart she secret to any one-—not even to a follow Anarchist. He would be killed b fore he could giv<« up the information, It is wel kiv-wn in Anarchistic ra> k* that many nun of prumiuoncn in the forco Imve quietly disnpi eared, Wh»t has bfcomo of them n> mo know?. It is only to bo inferred. They havr doubtless bi tried iv the- laUnco a-id found wanting. Onco their courxge has broken dowa they ere n<> lunger want d among the cho3en on< p. You may imagine what happens to them. They are diubthss swiftly sud secretly "rf nvvod.'' Onco a ruler has boon raark^l for deatruction thfre i 8 ecircelj a c^anrp for him. Only the almost vigdm c% will save him. If one Aarchist fails in the attempt on his life thi ra *re a hundred othera to '-roraove " him. Each one oi these chosen men is ready to perform his mission or do in tho at tempt.

S"»viitost l>inl is tlio- prog *^ into consumption. First a cold, then a settled cough, then slow fever, night sweats, and hemorrhages. Don't neglect your cough. Stop it at once and drive away all thought of consumption. Begin as early as possi ble—tlie sooner the better —to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral the most effective remedy for coughs of every kind and in every stage. One of the most annoying coughs is a throat cough, where you have that constant tickling in your throat. It comes 0:1 worse at night, keeps you awake, and. makes you have that smotini-.d feeling in the chest. It hardly seems possible what one dose of Cherry Pectoral will do for this kind of a cough, it brings such marked relief. Put up in largo and small bottles. When the cough gets down deep in ! the chest and the lungs are painful, put one of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Plasters directly over the tender lung. It will draw out all the soreness.
