Old Bruln was taking walk one day.
Just for his health, you know;
Ho strollcd along In q careless way
Wherever no chanccd to 20.
The forest paths were green and COOL
Ills mind from care was froe;
Ills children were safeat tho infantschool.
And hIs wife was getting tea.
Thoy had corn from the field OF farmer
near, Fsr ls.iL
And honey his bees had mado. 70 RR
Yet with all his thicyIng he'd; never a nfbar,
Nor thought OF the. plan that was laid.
And, So when he camo to q curious box
He put la his foot for fun- IN,
And the last thing hc know was some tcrribie

Curious blossoms whose Very Sight IL
Provocative Of Mirth.
There is Jack-in-the-pulpit, the
flower of tho plant known as Indian
turnip (ArisGma triphyHnn). Who
could ever look at one Of those singu-
lar blossoms without the same stirring
OF the risiblc faculties which ono
experiences in pcrusing q parody or
caricaturc, or witnessing pantomimc?
The very sight Of one is provocative of
mirth. How many times in my school

The wcll-known ny-trap, (Dionaa

stalk of each leaf Of this plant, near the
base. is attached kind of bag, shaped
like a pitcher. Of the same consistcncc

to reddish purple. 1t is girt around
with an obliquc band or hoop. and

fiber, which, passing over the handle.

the shrinking or contracting Of this

the weather is showery or damp.
When sufficient moisture has fallen,
and the pitcher saturated, the cover
falls down so firmly that evaporation

Henry WARD BEEcHER has arrived

magnificent eloquence of Gladstone;
been amused at the enthusiasm of the

a CASE OF BIGA1rY.

The Supreme Court of the United
States is likely to have. polSgsmy case
appealed to it from other quarters than
from UTAH The case ,KilI come f.om
Syracuse. NY. r. Solomon Warren
had been divorced from his first wife
in Nebraska on The groUnl OF deser
ton; he then moved to New York,
where he married again. Now he is
prosecuted in Syracuse for bigamy. and
the Jury, under instructions from the
court, brought in verdict of guilty,
but strongly recommended the prisoner
to the mercy of the court. At the re-
quest of the defendant counsel. SEN
tence was suspended perding an appeal
to the Superior Court of the States.
The judge took the stana that the
divorce granted in Nebraska on the
ground of desertion, could not be con-
sideredvalid in New YORK where the only
legal grounds for a divorce is for adul-
terry. As the case will involve q con-
hict between the laws of Nebraska and
New York; and also the question of
how far one State iscompelled to reoog-
nize the laws OF another N such cases,
the controversy will be OF interest, and
not few people will be effected BY 1t,
should it turn out that the judgment
of the court that has already tried the
case be confirmed; as it has been the
practice for people living in States with
strict laws in relation TO divorce to 20
into some State adjacent where the
laws are less rigid. and there obtain the
mucn desired separation.

THE FISHERIES AGAIN.

Just as the United States were think.
ing that Canada was becoming more
neighborly on the fisheries question,
the Dominion authorities come up
Eerenely and denied that the Dominion
government. at the instance of Imperial
authority, has relaxed ITS measures
for protecting the Canadian fisheries
They claim there has been no interior
ence on the part of the Imperial & v
eminent. and that in the future rs in
the past the Dominion government will
protect its fisheries by insisting upon q
strict observance of the existing laws
governing that industry; and will en-
force the prohibitions made by the laws
against American fishermen. Any
United States vessel found fishing, or
preparing to fish, or known to have
fshed in Canadian waters, will be seized
at once without warning. The twenty
four hour warning spoken of a few
days since. is solely applicable to
United States vessels found lowering

affairs in 1923 brought out from Jams
Monroe, then President of the United
States. the following pointed declara-
ton which has ever since been called
the Monroe Doctrine:
1--WE should consider any ATTEMPT on
the part Of European powers to exteEd
their system to any portion Of this
hemisphere as dangerous TO our peace
and safety - We could not view
any interposition for the purpose of op-
pressing or controlling American gov
e-nments or provinces in any other
light than as a manifestation by
European powers of an unfriendly dis
position toward the United States"
The point in opposing the efforts of
the French government to become a
stakeholder in DeLesseps' Psnama
Canal is this: Should that govern
ment become interested in the Panama
Canal it would claim the right to
protect their interest; and for that pu--
pose would send a feet or army to
American waters or TO her shores,
which would be a menace to America's
peace. n
Tie resolution should pass and the
French Government prevented. from
taking stock in a concern which is cal
culated to affect the peace of America.
The Powers Of Europe must not inter
fere with American affairs, should be
the doctrine now, as it was in 1923.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The resolution introduced in the
House of Representative on TUESDAY

have not forgotten the Monroe Doc
trine. The United States had acknowl-
edged the independence of certain
States, which, like the English American
colonies. had broken away fr,m the
mothers political leading strings,
and succe had crowned their daring
But Spain was loath to give up the
struggle. and persisted in trying to en-
force upon some OF those states, whose
independence our nation had
acknowledged, her European system
