Observation-Disclosures can go much far
ther than in the case of the Spokane man
who last Friday, as he supposed, forged
his employers name to n check. After
presenting 10 tn the Spokane National
hank he wal overcome by conflicting emo
tions tai dlscover that he had siightly
mixed things up ny signing the check
himself and making il payable to his en-
ployer's order. Uppermost I'm his surRinR
thoughts undoubtedly was n violent and
indispensable desire To retire into some
secluded spot of the universe and spend
eternity i'm the atoning act of kicking
himself.
There is said tn he u lack of harmony
among the Chinese provinces. The Cow
ernor Of Annoy has ordered three days of
fasting and prayer for rain and the Gov
ernor of SoOchow has ordered three days
OF fasting and prayer for N cessation Of
rain. We hate to intrude advice on such
momentous matters, but we would su9gest
that IL while all the people are fasting and
praying, the Governor OF Annoy and the
Governor of Soochow should get together
and pursue the same line of
that il said to have been used between the
Governor of North Carolina and the Gov
ernor Of South Carolina, they would find
n uniformity of wetncss, which haply
might avert the straining of their official
relations.
The New York Tribune prints n story
from Boston about George Francis Train,
which says that soon after Mr.. Train WINS
released from imprisonment there the
other day, being in one of his most eccen-
trio moods, he collected u little crowd
around him i'm the corridors of one OF the
big hotels by proclaiminR i'm stentorian
tones that he was the biggest fool i'm
America. After repeating this statement
several times and finding no one to con-
tradict him, he offered to bet u consider
able sum that he knew what he was talk
ing about and that what he said was true.
AT this n betting man, who had not taken
any notice of the speaker at first, ell
bowed his way through the little knot of
listeners and, evidently not knowing the
face and figure of the Usage of Madison
Square," about whom he had read u good
deal in the said: "Look
mere. stritIlGers LII Jake tnot Det. prOvlOeN
you are not George Francis Train"
The new Washington legislature goes
at n thing hammer and tongs. A bill hav-
ing been roduc making il unlawful
to sell or give cigarettes to persons unde
III years of age, the judiciary committee
has reported u substitute prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of cigarettes within
the borders of the state altogether. In the
debate that followed il appears that some
OF the gentlemen took the ground that
prohibition does not prohibit, OF in other
words that the prohibition of cigarettes
would he as futile and impracticable as
the prohibition of whisky. At any rate
the cigarette should he submitted to n
vote of the people,. All, however,
agreed that the prohibition of
cigarettes to persons under 16
was u wise and patriotic measure. A menu
her of the house by the name of Tucker
went at the merits of the question:, arg,l-
ing that IL our boys and girls learned to
smoke cigarettes, by and by they would
he smoking cigars and pipcs,and no could
not tell what would happen after that.
We agree with Mr.. Tucker that il our
girls took to smoking cigars and pipes
there il no telling what would happen, al
though we strongly suspect that there
would he considerable sickness and pos
sibly some spanking i'm the family. But IL
our boys should throw away their cigar
cites for cigars and pipes-it is too horri-
bile tn think of. We might feel like call
ing them the stuff.
