WHAT He TOOK FOB LUNCH.

A young gentleman who is very well
known socially in the two cities is an ln'
yeterate practical Joker. A few days
aso, during rain storm, he went. INTO
a restaurant in the afternoon and took
a seat at table. The waiter In charge
of the table was keen-witted. expert
enced fellow, and was thoroughly up to
his business. Presenting the customer
with bill of fare, the waiter stood re-
spectfully behind his chair to take the
expected order. The young gentleman
leisurely looked over the list Of edibles
and drinkables. and theu halt turning
around, he said drawlingly:
3 Give me an umbrella and a dollar and
a half
The waiter stared at the customer aud
then exclaimed: "Beg pardon, sir! What
did you say you wanted 2
Bring me an umbrella and dollar
and a half was the nonchalant reply.
A twinkle appeared in the waters
eyes, but he merely bowed and said:
Yes, sir. All right, SIR
A hurried conference took place be
tween the waiter and the proprietor
/ ~
during which there was considerable
snickering and grinning. The custome
sat perfectly quiet. which was not dis
turbed by the return of the waite
with three silver half dollars on plat
ter, and dingy, tattered old ginghar
umbrella, which he placed beside tn
guests chair.
Anything else, sir?' said the waite'
coolly.
Yes, bring me cup Of coffee
The coffee arrived, was soon tinishec
and then the waiter laid check besld
the empty cup. On the check was wrl
ten simply '2.55.'

A foreign scientific journal remarks,
as a curious physiological fact, that
although open air life is so favorable to
health, yet it has the apparent effect
of stunting the growth in early
youth. Thus, while the children
of we!l-to-do parents, carefully
housed and tended, are found to be
taller for their age than the children of
the poor, they are not so strong in after
years; the laborer's children, for In
stance, who play in the lonely country
roads and fields all day, whose parents

work in the morning so that their ot1spr-
ing shall not gam entrance todo mischief,
are almost invariably short for their age;
the children Of working farmers exhibit
the same peculiarity-after sixteen OF
eighteen, after years Of hesitation, as ii
were. the lads shoot up, and become
great hulking broad fellows, possessed
of immense strength. According to
these statements it would seem tha'

The Syracuse Standard gives the fol-
lowing story of haunted house in
Richland, Oswego county, N. u, where
a murder occurred: "Smith is tie oc-

One day, net long ago, Smiths wife

were nice-crus. short and crispy, and
the interior raisined and spced to that
degree of excellence that Smith remark

closed to his vision the ghost!y outline
of a female form looking into his bed

torn night-dress and the red mark
around her throat. Smiths hair stood
on end as the ghost slowly raised its
arm. 1t took one step into the room

The Kingston Freeman says: 'lhe

first thought that this was caused by an
insect, but it seems that the Oil comes
from the leaves, caused, perhaps, by the
heat, amiting a strong oder,a set OF oliJ

Court House drop oil in the same way
so that the broad stone pavement In

The oily nature of the trees is not very

The Supper Both Pleasant and
 Profitable.

One of the most pleasant gatherings which has met in our midst for many a day was at the Masonic hall building last Friday night on the occasion of the church supper under the auspices of tho Russellville M.

Among the number we remember seeing were w. J. Reynolds and lady, R. B. Hogins and lady, D. c. Brown and lady, Miss Neppie Rollow, and Messrs. Will Rol- low, George Jamison. F. c. Falls and J. c. Rye. There may have been oth- CTS whom our reporter failed to see.
 The awards to the handsomest ladies, by ballot, formed one of the pleasant features Of the evening" g entertainment. Miss Jessie Howell was awarded the lan.sst prize for beauty, followed by the second to miss Mifliss Neppie Rollow, of Dos yer. A handsome caEs IVES balloted for the ugliest gentleman in the house and the contestants for the gift were ". c. Ford, J. c. Rye and Dr. Hill.

the internal concerns of the Central
American States, to the injury Of our
own.
This point is very clearly presented by
the message in these words: -
"The capital invested by corporations or
citizens of othercountries in such an en-
terprise must, in great degree, look for
protection to one or more of the great Pow
ers of the world. No European Power can
intervene for such protection without
adopting measures on this continent which
the United States would deem wholly inad-
missible. If the protection If the United
States is relied upon, the United States
must exercise such control as will enable
this country to protect its National inter-
esls and maintain the rights Of those whose
private capital is embarked in the work.
AN inter-oceanic canal across the Amer
ican isthmus will essentially change the
geographical relations between'the Atlantic
| and Pacific Coasts of the United States, and
between the United States and the rest of
the world. 1t will be the great ocean
thoroughfare between our Atlantic and our
Pacific shores, and virtually part of the
coast line of the United States Our mere
y commercial interest in it is greater than
that OF all other countries, while its rela-
tions to our power and prosperity as a Ma
ton, to our means of defense, our unity,
peace and safety are matters ofparamount
consideration to the people of the United
States. No other great Power would. under
similar circumstances, fail to assert the
rlShtfil control over work so closely and
vitality affecting its interest and welfare"
The correctness of these views can not
be questioned. When Europe was con-
strueting her canal across the Isthmus
of Suez, the Government of the United
States was not even invited to any par
ticipation in its construction or con-
troll, nor did we desire it. European
Nations must now expect the same poll
cy on our part as to the Isthmus Canal
on this Continent. And as European
control over the Suez Canal speedily led
to European control over the internal
affairs of Egypt, so would that control
speedily come to pass in the internal
affairs of Central America were the Uni
ted States to surrender the control over
this canal "to any European Power, or
to any combination of European Powers" "
Consequently the Monroe doctrine has
special applicability in this behalf, and
this country will strongly endorse the
Presidents declaration that "the policy
of this country is canal under Ameri-
can control"
The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1880-03-20
THE MONROE DOCTRINE" AND THE
ISTHMIAN CANAL,

The recent Message of the President,
communicated pursuant to a resolution
of the Senate, on the subject of a ship
canal across the American Isthmus, has
attracted much attention as Teaffirma-
ton of the "Monroe Doctrine" as the
settled policy of our Government. In
that regard this special message must be
considered as an important public docu-
ment. Nor can it be said that such an
enunciation of that doctrine is either in
opportune or uncalled-for under the cir
cumstances that elected the message. 1t
is sa,proper and timely notification to all
the world that, though long silent on the
subject, the United States Government
has not aoated one jot nor little of its
policy known as the "Monroe Doctrine"
announced more than half century
ago.
1t was in his annual message of De-
cember ID, 1923, that President Monroe
formulated this doctrine that has ever
since borne his name. The occasion that
called it forth arose from the then cur
rent proceedings of the European Pow
ers touching territorial dominions, as a
dynastic adjustment rendered necessary
by the career of Napoleon. The
Great Emperor himself had be-
come prisoner Of State, over whom
the continued potentates of all Europe
mounted guard. That conclave of
crowned heads which had assumed for
itself, as if in solemn mockery, the name
of "The Holy Alliance" was engaged in
partitioning the world among its reigning
monarchs. Having divided up Europe
among themselves so as to forever exclude
the Bonaparte dynasty just then de.
throned, this Holy Alliance turned its
attentions to this continent. more par.
ticularly in relation to the revolted
Spanish States of Central America. And
thereupon came President Monroe's sol
emn declaration of the policy of the
United States against the interference ol
European Powers in the political con-
Germs of the American Continent.
The Monroe Message says: "In the
wars Of the European Powers, in matters
relating to themselves, we have never
taken any part, nor does it comport with
our policy 50 to do. 1t is only when our
rights are invaded, or seriously menaced,
that we resent injuries, or make prepara.
ton for our defense. With the move.
