Cupid in a New Role.


The Buffalo man who won
a sweet girl by writing numerous
love letters to her on five dollar bills, has
started fashion that will make court
ing harder than ever. Not only will the
dear creatures refuse to return such mis-
sives in case of a quarrel, but they will
insist in bills of a larger denomination
being used. The world will seem but a
dreary place to a man who has been us
ing five dollar bills as stationery for his
love letters, when he gets note like
this from the adored object: ''An-
other young gentleman is writing to
me on ten dollar bills Unless you en-
ploy twenty dollar bills all is over be-
tween us.

EXCHANGE SHOTS.
EXcruciating Sarcasm.

Emporia Republican.
Governor Martin struck it about right
in protesting against the established
precedent of issuing notarial commits
sions to Tom, Dick and Harry, simply
because they choose to apply for them.
We hardly think the matter is one re-
curing legislation, though. Governor
Humphrey can say no to a few fellows
and establish precedent Of his own that
will settle the business.

The Higgins family seems to be III a

represented by the honorable Anthony

The fact that ten Democratic senators

Daniel of Virginia, Faulkner of West

ana-voted with the Republicans against
Mr. Vests proposal to put bituminous

scolding and bullying speech by Mr..
Vest himself on the duty of Democrats to
toe the party line on all such questions,
is both interesting and suggestive.

The first annual message of Governor
Humphrey to the state legislature, which
was delivered yesterday, will be found
entire in this issue of the EAGLE. 1t is a
lengthy document, but straightforward
and full of business suggestions and
recommendations of practical sort in
the main. The document as a whole
shows that the new governor has COM
prehensive grasp of matters affecting the
states interest. 1t will be read with
interest and satisfaction by all who feel
uoncern in public affairs.

Charles Dudley Warner thinks that
over-culture and pedantic learning is
doing much to take from woman the
charm that gives her empire. He sees
in the powerfully intellectual gaze

fascination. A smattering of the classics
and dip into philosophy he considers
of trivial importance in comparison to
the power of an interesting personality.
