PICTURE OF HAM IN AN
AMERICAN MAGAZINE
MAKES HUN MARVEL
BERLIN, June 16— Germans mar
vel at American magazines especially
at the advertisements. A writer in a
Berlin papeer tells of feasting his
eyes on the pictures of food in a popu
lar American weekly.
“Who has to advertise ham in or
der to get rid of it in Germany?” he
facetiously asks. “But the unfortu
nate American who has a ham to sell
must first buy, for a dreadful lot of
money, a whole page in a magazno
and, at another terrible price, hire an
artist to paint a picture of his ham.”
The writer rhapsodizes over that
picture, however. He tells his readers
what the ham looked like:
“A cross section. White layers of
fat. Salmon pink flesh, with streaks
of fat like the rays of the sun.”
It amazed him to find that, in ad
dition to the picture, the owner of the
ham “finally has to sing its praises »n
sweet words.”
“How we pity,” he exclaims, “the
American who possesses a ham!”
Turning over the pages, the writer
cpme upon an advertisement of rubbei
soles. Evidently he thought they were
used for the purpose the Germans
make of their “sole-sparers.”
“Don’t imagine.” he goes on, “that
Mu se American sole-sparers are the
kind we have in Germany, made of
iron. Not a bit of it. They are made of
rubber.”
An idea of how scarce and dear
robber is in Germany may be gather
ed from the writer’s statement that
“the cost of these American sole
sparers. commuted in our valuta,
would ho as great as that of a trip in
a railway train from Berlin to Ham
burg. with one day in a hotel besides.”

DULUTH, Minn., Juno Id— A mob
estimated to have been composed of
not less than five thousand, last night
stormed the jail, overpowered the po
lice, battered down the steel doors of
the cells and took six negroes, lynch
ing three* of them, after a mock trial
on charges of assaulting a white girl.
The other three negroes were turned
back to the police by the mob leaders.
The police put up a stubborn fight
1 without firing any shots because they
were afraid of further inflaming the
I
mob and groat bloodshed would have
resulted. The police finally gave up
when the mob forced the entrance of
the jail building. Two companies of
the National guard have been ordered
from Fort Snelling. The Duluth Home
Guard has been mustered to preserve
order. Ten negroes were this after
noon lushed by auto to the St. Paul
jail for protection. Normal conditions
prevail here this afternoon. An inves
• tigation has already been started into
i the lynching by the mob.
