llN ENTERPRlSING MIND.

There was little chicken that was shut up in
a shell;
He thought to himself: '.Pm sure can not
tell
What I am walled in here fora shocking
coop, / find,
Untitled for chicken with an enterpris;ng
mind.
He went, out in the barn-ysru one lovely
morn in May;
Each hen he found spring cleaning in. the only
proper way;
"This yard is much too narrow-a shocking
coop, find,
United for a chicken with enterprising
mind"
He crept up to the gateway and slipped out
through crack;
The world stretched wide before him, and just
as widely back;
'This world is much too narrow-a shocking
coop, find,
United for chicken with an enterprising
mind"
II should like to have Ideals, I should like to
tread the stars,
To get the Unattainable, and free my soul
from bars;
should like to leave this dark earth and some
other dwelling find,
More fitted for a chicken with an enterprising
mind.
There's place where ducks and pleasure
boats go sai<ng to and fro,
There's one world on the surface and another
world below
The little waves crept nearer and, ON the
brink inclined,
They swallowed upthe chicken with an enter
prising mind.

POlitenesso

A boy who is polite to father and
mother is likely to be polite to every
body else. A boy lacking politeness to
his parents may have the semblance of
courtesy in society, but is never truly
polite in spirit, and is in danger. as he
becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy. We are all in dam
ger of living too much for the outside
world, for the impression which we
make in society, coYeting the good
opinion of others and caring too little
for the good opinion of those who are
in sense a part of ourselves, and who
will continue to sustain and be interest
ed in US, Notwithstanding these defects
of department and character. We say
TO every boy and to every G ri, cultivate
the habit of courtesy and propriety at
home-in the kitchen as well as in the
parlor-and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourself in a becoming
and attractive manner. NeaoSboys' APP

WHY THE TURK sCORNS Us.

General Wallace, our representative in
Turkey, has long been pressing upon the
Porte certain claims for redress of wrongs
done to American citizens. He has how
ever, until very lately, been treated with
coolness as to that matter He has also
been in open conflict with the Turkish
Government relative to. the commercial
treaty existing between the two nations,
and which the Porte would very much
like to see broken down. As to the first
matter, however, it appears the claims
were only that certain crimes committed
BY the Sultans subjects, in which Ameri-
cans had been made the victims, should be
punished. But the Sultans Government
protected the criminals. Mr.. Wallace was
then made the medium for a money de-
mand to recompense orr citizens who had
been robbed and injured by those the
Porte sheltered. To this no answer was
made At last General Wallace presented
categorical demands These are always
preliminary to probable rupture in diplO-
matte relations. The categorical" de-
mand, in diplomacy, is understood to be
the sharp and unpleasant hint that indi-
Gates anger on the part of the Government
preferring it, and neglect Of which will
bring about a withdrawal Of the Minister
The Porte, thus driven at last TO give our
claims attention, returned a refusal, and
there the matter now rests, so far as the
claims are concerned. But it does not res,
as to General Wallace He, tired of dane,
ing attendance upon the Turk with his hat
full of claims made his categorical de
mand upon the Grand Yizier, thus passing
by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For
! this the Turk charges him with violation
of diplomatic usage, and claims 20 be much
offended at this breach of etiquette General
Wallace will be sustained by his own peo-
pie. Red tape is entangling anywhere, but
in the Turkish Government it is perfect
network, in which once enmeshed claim
seldom emergeS. General Wallace did

not propose to have MS Government put
upon trial On the contrary, it was the
proponent of measure for acceptance or
rejection. He. stood ready to support it
with proofs, and he knew that the only
method by which he could bring
the matter to the attention of the
Porte was by assault by direction
and an ignoring OF the red-tape
avenues of approach. 1t is very adroit-
in Oriental estimation-to further involve
the matter of our Claims by prefering
charges of undiplomatic conduct against
our Minister. This may humiliate the
Washington authorities, but will not lessen
the persistency OF our Minister pressing
the matter of the claims. General Wal
lace has defense also. It is that his
action is not unprecedented. That repre-
sentatives of other powers on the very day
he invaded the sanctity of the Grand
Vizer'S closet, also presented demands di-
rectly to that functionary; that any of "the
Powers" do this whenever they choose ;
that whenever a European Minister finds
his business neglected he appeals direct to
the Grand Vizer, and instead of doing as
our Minister did, who went in person, they
usually send secretary. The hooSier
General eSteems his own country entitled TO
equal privileges accorded to European pow
ers. But the difficulty in this whole bust
ness is that the Turk has not true estl-
mate of the character Of our Government.
He does not esteem it worthy to rank
with European powers, and the charge Is
made that this is wholly due to the fact
that we give the Turk no object lessons.
European Governments send before him
fleets and great floating batteries, and he is
impressed with their significance. But the
United States is content with a single
steam launch for the Use Of the legation,
and this is hired for only two or three
months in the year. The Turk is thus
cuuCdlSd W btlltNt tudL liz C|tli Sill tS
Americans with impunity, and that they
have not the power to redress grievances.
About twice in half a decade wooden
war ship of the United States appears in
Turkish waters, but soon departs, and
really aggrayates the situation by the
humiIiating contrast she makes beside the
ironclads of European countries. As an
intelligent correspondent Of an Eastern
Journal puts it: "The people take US at
our own valution. Well-informed, or at
least influential people at Constantinople,
have notion that the greatness of the
United States exists only because Eu-
ropean Governments shrink from attempt
ing adventures beyond the mighty At
lantic Americans may have grown rich
by long immunity from attack, but they
have no army, no navy, and would be in
stantly conquered if war was to take
trained soldiers to their distant shores.
The Turks truly believe, because they see
no American war power, that American
ability to revenge wrongs is a myth This
belief is the key to Turkish audacity as to
American rights" The whole situation is
a rebuke to the niggard policy that keeps
lis a nation without a navy

BORN AGAIN.

The San Francisco Bulletin remarks
upon the change of heart one wing of the
boss element seems to have experienced.
1t is now the reformer par excellence. The
Bulletin SAYS the good seed took a long
time to terminate There it is in error. 1t
is neither good seed nor termination. 1t
is simon-pure hypocrisy and shallow pre-
tense The bosses have assumed a virtue
not possible for them to possess. They
are put to desperate straits when they find
the opportunity slipping from their grasp
to longer blackmail capital organized for
industrial purposes, and in their rage they
rend the household Of their political faith.
The afectation of assuming false charac-
ter for the sake of effect upon Others is an
evidence neither of shrewdness nor of wis
dom. The boss who proposes to blot out
men who do not agree with his methods
has no courage because he has no convic-
tions. No thin disguise will conceal his
true character.
The fable reads that an ass CHANGED to
light upon the skin of a lion and covered him
self with it. in order to amuse himself with the
terror of other animals at the sight. He then
rushed from forest TO field, spreading dlsmay
All fed headlOng except the fox, VINO taking a
shrewd glance over his shoulder, relaxed his
speed. At that moment the pretender was
caught sight of by his master and at first
alarmed him also; but looking the danger
steadily in the face, as is becoming in regard to
lions, he saw all at once what had struck the at
tentiOn of sly reynard. The length of the
beasts ears betrayed the truth and what was
his surprise to recognize in the terrible foe his
own familiar beast Of burden. The man at once
seized hold of strong stick, and gave Master
Jack so sound a thrashing, that he glad to
throw off his disguise, and stand out in his own
homcy coat among the tOCks and herds as
nothing but an ass.
The assumption of championship of viz
tue by the bosses in San Francisco should
not surprise our neighbor. The boss al
ways gets into the wagon, no matter in
what direction it rolls. In New York,
where the most remarkable political re-
form of the century is in progress, the same
disposition is manifest. Six of the nine
Roosevelt reform bills have passed one or
both houses of the Legislature, and it is
something wonderful to listen to the shouts
of the ruffians, against whom the legisla-
ton was aimed, as they hail the new king,
and declare their love for probity and the
right, and their devotion to the dear peo-
pie Judge Davis, Mr.. Evarts, Governor
Cleveland and Roosevelt himself cannot
begin to protest as do these sucking doves
