Among the notable features of
the St. Louis fair will be three im-
mense cascades oyer which nearly
100,000 gallons of water per mln^
ute will tumble, and an electric
search light of 5,000,000 candle
power. This is impressive, but
incomprehensible. Perhaps Con-
gress will buy the search light for
the use of Bristow.
To govern the people in the Pan-
ama canal zone, a little swamp ten
miles wide and fifty Ibng, will be
a costly Job. Officers want 8500,-
000 the first year for sanitation.
Polioing will cost nearly as much
more. Gen. Davis estimates that
the local government will cost a
million dollars a year.

The first of the four great rail-

river, from Jersey City to New

It vastly relieves the congestion.
England made war on the Boers
“to enlarge the domain of free-
dom,” but now she has introduced
coolie labor to the Transvaal and
provided that “any one harboring
a deserting Chinaman shall be
treated as a receiver of stolen
goods.” Of course this is slavery
and nothing else.
Now how about pensions fo^ the

afflicted With a malady known as the

having t'ied all remedies I could hear
of, besides a number of doctors. I wish

*■ Common sense will approve the
decision of the officers at theWhlte
House to give out no more news of
the “cranks” who attempt to force
an audience with the President.
Two such attempt were made with-
ina single week, and three within
a short period. The men who make
them are more oftqp weak-minded
individuals than anarchists—if one
dares to differentiate—and it has
beefa decided, we believe wisely,
fibt to permit details of these af-
fairs to reaoh, through the press,
the ears of other cranks,who might
be tempted to repeat them.

barn, and pretty soon it was no-

His oldest son slyly followed him
and saw him taking a deep draught
of one of the jugs. The old man
heard a step outside, and before
going out he arranged those jugs
according to his artistic taste. He
was hardly gone when the son
skipped in and took a drink out
of the one which he supposed his
father drank. The next moment
he was sputtering, coughiag and
gasping, and the old man entered
and asked: •
“Turpentine doesn’t agree with
you, doos it?”
“But I saw you drinking it!”
exclaimed the injured and indig-

“Thatls true,” said the old man,
while a beautiful smile played
