A Bachelors Wants.

There Ii nothing like knowing what you
want, and seeing that you get it. says The
London Daily Ne0s. The advertiser who in
serts the following sample Of bis moderate de-
sires in a country newspaper, seems a very
clear-slghted, intelligent man, and might
make good prime minister:
''Wanted, logngs by B. A. Advertiser

apply who object on principle to fall In with
his not excessive requirements which include:

and chops and steaks to be grilled mot fyied) /;

The "absence of catn is perhaps mere
touch of sardonic humor. Only bachelor of

roasting, and toasting, and grilling. man
like this deserves to obtain what he desires,
and all open-mlnded people will sincerely wish
that he may get It.

A Thanksgiving Thought.

Gen. Sheridan's annual report shows that
the total number Of men IN the army, includ-
ing Indian scouts, is now "a. 236, a number SO
insignifcantly small in comparison with the
size and population of the country as to make
officers in the immense standing armies of
Europe smile. 1t should also make American
tax payers smile, though from a very
different feeling. This American
freedom from the excessive taxation and mill
tary duty under which all Europe groans, is
due less TO any considerations of economy on
the part of Congress than to our fortunate
position. IT, instead Of having such peaceful
neighbors as Mexico aud the Dominion, this
country were like Germany. wedged in be-
tween warlike France and Russia, the s78, 600, :
900 now annually expended in pensions TO ex
soldiers at their homes would be expended
upon active soldiers IN forts and drilling
camps. This lie one of the things it is well to
think of IN Thanksgiving season.-C bscisaaa

great statesman to desire to force him

for democratic reporters to put up straw

then fire them up for the fun of the pub
