A MAN at Downs. Kan, has really
either fatally or very seriously injured
a baseball umpire whose decisions did
not meet his approval. So it is that
modest merit finds its reward. The
newspaper humnrists of this country
have been talking of such a possibility
for many years, but because they were
humorists. no one thought there could
be anything serious IN it.

ONCE in a while Russia does a thing
that is really sensible. The recent
ukase, requiring that all persons set
ting within its borders shall become
citizens within five years or leave the
country, is a stroke at the kind of
alienism which is on the increase every
where with swift and easy means of
transportation, and the reduction of
what may be called the centripetal
force of patriotism. Every large city
is full of cosmopolites who have no in
terest except in their own welfare, who
contribute nothing to the support of
the state and who, were the state
threatened with war or other disaster,
would leave it as soon as they could or
claim the protection of a foreign flag.
THE sprinkling cart, which has been
cursed and reviled more times than
any other city institution except the
dog catcher, has at last doomed up in a
heroic light, and has saved young
woman from q horrible death. Miss
Mccarthy, of Chicago, was perform
ing some duty around the kitchen
stove WREN her clothing caught afire.
She rushed screaming into the street,
just as the sprinkling cart passed by.
The driver told her to crawl under.
She did so and her life was saved.
Miss Mccarthy is a very fortunate
young woman. Rushing into the street
when ones clothing is afire is the most
foolish thing that can be done. The
wind and the motion fan the flames,
and tho sprinkling cart is not at all
apt to happen along. The next time
Miss Mccarthy catches afire let her
jump into the bed and wrap the quilts
tight around her.
