Scores Of little family parties went out into the
inviting woodlands near the city and picnicked.
and the steamers carried from the city hun
dreds Of others who looked in the direction of
the river resorts for their days pleasure.
Altogether 1t was one OF the pleasantest
Fourths that Washington has known since the
revered father Of his country came up and
marked out the limits of the city. Flags were
flying everywhere. The starry banner hoated
over public and private buildings and minia-
lures Of it were stuck upon baby carriages and
bicycles and other such objects and worn on
lapels. 1t was great day.

Tho patriotism that slumbers, or at any rate
dozes, during much of the year woke mp early
this morning. It was assisted to q state Of
wakefulness by the small boy. who was around
very early under the window with q giant
cracker. This same small boy took possession
Of the town. From his point Of view the police
behaved on the whole magnihcently. The po-
hceman avoided Is much IS he could those
places which the small boy had staked out a
the scene of a noisy celebration. Notwith-
standing this consideration it is more than
likely that the small boy will continue as of yore
to make fun Of the "copper"" behind his back.

TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 5.-Professor
Goodwin Smith, with reference to
the despatch from Washington con-
corning alleged threats of proceed
ings against the Canadian railways,
has this to say: 81 believe if the
threatened action is taken it will not
be intended as blow against Can
ada. | was at Washington when the
Mckinley bill was going through
Congress, and in daily intercourse
with those engaged in the discussion,
some of whom liked the bill about as
we'll as l did. 1t was never. SAID or
even limited to me the object was to
coerce Canada. A bill like our own
national policy of protection was
passed in the interest of the political
party which brought it forward;
and so it is with this meditated ac-
ton against the railway. 1t may be
taken not as measure of hostility
to Canada, but as measure of JUS
tice to the American companies. If
our case was the same our Govern
ment would probably do the same
thing. The Canadian Pacific Rail
way, it is true, has, by its political
attitude and conduct, made itself es-
pecially obnoxious to Americans. At
the time of our last election it's
President put forth an anti-Ameri-
can manifesto, and the road made
extremely tyrannical use of it's influ-
ence, especially in Manitoba, in ia
vor of the Government which was
appealing for support to the dislike
and distrust of Americans. That a
road fed by American traffic and
connections should be acting as the
mainstay of the anti-American party
and policy here, may we'll seem
anomalous to the Washington Gov
eminent. Against the Grand Trunk,
which, as one of the Senators said,
is politically inoffensive, there is no
feeling whatever. The President of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad says
his line will not materially suffer if
the threatened action is taken. The
road is as much English as Ameri-
can, or as much American as Cana
dian. 1t discriminates if the state
ments made as to comparatives is
correct, against Canadian traffic, and
therefore its quarrel will hardly be
ours, nor need we allow it to infu-
ence our general policy toward the
United States"

Two Colonies Meet by Chance.

Two strangers occupied the same
seat in a crowded car on a railroad
down in Indiana, and, after the man
ner of travellers, they began to get
acquainted. One was reading a
paper, and after a minute or so he
laid it in his lap and remarked:
II was just reading there that out
in Kansas the other day they post
poned horserace on account of a
funeral"
"They don't do that way in my
State" said the other.
"No?" queried the first man.
''No; they postpone a funeral on
account of a horserace."
The first speaker looked at his
companion moment and stuck out
his hand.
"What part of the State are you
from?" he asked. "1'm from Ken
lucky myself" -DetroH Free Press.

Froude Hid From Carlyle.

Here is an amusing bit from let
ter written by the late Canon But
Ter to his wife when he was staying
with Mr.. Froude at Onslow Gardens:
"He and 1 were playing lawn tennis
yesterday in the Square, when old
Carlyle came round to take him for
a drive in an omnibus, which he does
about three times week Froude
hid himself behind the bushes. and
the old philosopher, unable to see
him anywhere, retired, and we con-
tinued our game" Who would be-
ieve that Froude ever hid him
self from Carlyle before editing his
literary remains? If he had hidden
himself behind the bushes after their
publication would not have been
surprised, for he would doubtless
have had a stormy interview with
the philosophers ghost.-New York

Prior had several qualifications for
diplomatic work. Though he must some
times have been hampered by his hum
BILE origin, he never failed to maintain
the dignity of his official position. His
special knowledge Of commerce, hi,
readiness, as humor, his fuency In
French. his familiarity with Horace "a
useful accomplishment in the Augustan
age and even zee visage de bois. as Boil
ingbroke called it, must often have been
of service to him. But Prior's life when
he had the honor Of representing Queen
Anne at the French court was not happy.
His letters during that period show that
he was uneasy about the prospects of his
party and felt his own position to be in
secure.
In those days, moreover, the British
government was not good paymaster
generals had sometimes TO find money
from their own pockets - pay their sol
diers, and ambassadors salaries were
often in arrear. When the crash came
Prior found himself in an unfortunate
plight He was looked coldly on both by
the new administration and by his own
party. 1t was stated that he had made
