1t viii Strike us Nert.

We make a brief note of a craze
that is soon to float over the water and
strike us. 1t is the game of The Miss
ing Word" A few months ago the ed
itor of a small paper in London an.
hounced that he would publish in his
journal each week sentence of which
the last word was omitted. By paying
! one shilling, and of course sending a cou-
pom cut from the paper, anybody might
guess at what the word was. The
money that thus came in was to be di-
vided among the persons who guessed
right, while of course the unlucky wrong
guessers lost their shilling. The papers
profit came in in the number of copies
sold every week and percentage of the
money besides.
The craze spread like wildfire. It
seemed as though a silly wave was on in
England just at that time, and every
body began guessing for amusement
The paper, from being scarcely known
became the most renowned one in Great
Britain. A very foolish and stupid little
thing will make mans fortune if he
happens to hit the signs right, as this
editor found. The result of the missing
word craze in England is summed in the
New York Sun as follows:
The idea sent up the circulation of the paper
TO over half a million a week, 10000 copies be-
ing credited to the missing word idea in the
past two months. Other publications adopted
the device, and a month ago the craze swept
over the unhappy land like a blizzard. Two
weeks ago the paper first mentioned received
and distributed over $4,000 received in shil-
lings for guesses. One week there were but
forty-three correct guesses, and each of the
lucky guessers received $3.50 in return for his
shilling.
1t was estimated a week ago that some $780,
0oO In shillings was sent to the various papers
running the scheme. The money orders at
many postofilces have all been used up, the re-
serve supply is low, the mails are ciogged, and
the end is yet afar off. Clubs and syndicates
are formed, pooling guesses and prizes. Some
individuals send in a score or two Of Ruesses
and shfiifngs. The craze has invaded the
church fairs, the clubs, and even the exchanges
and business houses. The business has added |
a new department. employing over 200 people, !
to the paper which originated the scheme.

When He Wasn't III. Father.

It is whispered among a certain gay
young set that one Of its members, q
college graduate, but regular IMAM
mas boy" for all that is feeling a trife
sore over an episode that marked his
first day in business His father, the
president Of a prominent insurance com
pany, had made place in his Office for
his son, and the young fellow was eager
to take it. 1t so happened that his first
dip into the great sea Of worldly ambi-
ton occurred ON the same day as meet
ing Of the directors of the well known
corporation.
Being sent on an errand to the presi-
dent the young hopeful burst into the
room where the magnates Of the bust
ness world were assembled, and in the
familiar parlance of the home began,
Papa
The august president, with a look of
absolute horror, turned to the agitated
messenger, and to the intense amuse-
ment Of the others present and to the ev-
erlasting chagrin Of the dudelet, roared

business hours. "-Philadelphia Times.

If the special dispatch to the Chicago
Times is true concerning the refusal of
the Canadian Pacific topool with other
transcontinentai lines, there is apt to
be an interesting war between the rail-
way corporations this summer which,
while it lasts, can hardly fail to revert
to the advantage of the Puget Sound
country. The present friendly attitude
of the Canadian Pacific towards the
Great Northern argues against any
radical change in its policy in the line
of beginning rate war. The Canadian
road, however, would not lose an OPP
to institute a war if by so do
ing it could damage the interests of the
Northern Pacific.

The instructions of the pope in regard
to Catholic children attending the Amer
lean public schools amount practically
to this: In parishes where church schools
can be maintained fully equal in merit
to the public schools, and that without
burdening Catholic parents too much,
such schools shall be maintained. When
this is not the case, then Catholic chill
dren may attend the public schools un-
der certain conditions, chief of which is
that the parish priest shall maintain
weekly catechism classes, which the chill.
dren may attend out of school hours and
thus obtain religious instruction. The
Jews long ago found that way to settle
the religious question for their children.
The weekly class at the synagogue for
Jewish children to learn Hebrew and
doctrine is well established in most
cities. His holiness hopes further that
Professionals will maintain a spirit Of toll.
GRAFTON toward Catholics that will make
the transition period as easy as possible:
also that Catholic teachers will in all
cases strive to obtain first class state Ger.

The Winter Reading Club.

There is much besides the mere read
ing aloud from standard authors that
may well engage the attention of the
winter improvement club. Such an OF
ganization there should be in every
village and thickly settled neighborhood
Each evening of the once a week meet
ings might be devoted to some particular
department. There might be one maya
zine night in the month, when the best
articles from some of the leading month
lies could be read. We have heard. too.
OF club that entered on the risky ex-
pertinent of having its members during
one evening read their own original
compositions. The club lasted six years
IN spite of this.
There might be also one meeting In
the month given to debate and speaking
extempore, If the members were bent on
getting the most out of their opportuni.
ties. There would then be left an even
ing for general literature. During one
season that might be occupied with his.
tory. Much could be learned in one
winter from the careful reading aloud
Of extracts from some standard history.
Historical writings like Buckles "His
tory of Civilization" or Carlyle's French
Revolution" would be most profitable for
the history evening.
The ciearness and musical intonations
or otherwise of the readers voice, his
pronunciation, ETC., should be legitimate
subjects for both commendation and
friendly criticism. The American read
ing and speaking voice would be i'm
proved if such winter reading clubs
should become general. Finally at the
close OF your season, when, in the words
of Poet James Whitcomb Riley, "the
green gifts back in the trees" close with
a delightful social entertainment.

The annual message of Governor
Ferry is very clear and concise state.
ment of the sffairs Of the state in so far
as it was deemed proper for the execu-
tive to deal with them, and contains
much valuable information, and many
practical sugr estiOns and recommends.
tons. The financial condition of the
state seems to be satisfactory, the in.
debtedness being placed at $509, 167. Is.
Of this sum, 100000 is a bonded in
debtedness. The attention of the legis-
lature is called to the fact that the state
constitution provides in a mandatory
way for law creating local govern
ment by township organizations. This
form of local government prevails in so
many of the states which were the
former homes Of people now citizens of
Washington that doubtless there will
be general satisfaction with the pros
pect Ofa return to that system.
A recommendation Is made that the
terms of office of the Harbor line COM
mission be extended, as under the law
the term expires on the 18th of this
month. This recommendation seems
to be consistent with the policy adopted
by the state on this subject; but If it is
Tor the purpose of enabling
the present commissioners to continue
their work, 1t is both unwise and I'M
just. If, however, it is for the purpose
Of enabling them TO reform or undo the
mischief already perpetrated, its wis
dom would be more apparent. Per-
haps the most important feature of the
message is the view which the gov
ernor takes Of the duty of the legisla-
ture on the subject Of a railroad COM
mission, and the regulation of freights
and fares, both of which are recon-
mended. The clause of the message
relating to the subject of roads and
highways is worthy of very careful at
tention. The argument in favor of the
state, through the medium of a road
commission, taking charge of the
highways Of the state is not easily
answered. Besides these, recommen-
cations are made on other and import
ant subjects, the message being ex-
haustive, and in the main practical.

Councilman Griffin is posing before
the residents of Fairhaven in peculiar
attitude. During the life of the last
council he voted with the majority,
and was one Of the most active MEM
bers OF the board. The proceedings of
the present council show the majority
to be at variance with the views of Mr..
Griffin, and forsooth he refuses TO act
on the committees and mopes in the
corner while the interests Of his con-
situency go begging-as least 50 far as
ne Is concerned. A motive must exist
Tor every action. What motive could
induce a hold-over councilman. who
Is most energetic during the first half
OF bis term to allow his reso ution to
become "sicklied over" during the
latter half2 And how can he remain
consistent with this refusal to act with
his colleagues on committees and vet

council? Ordinarily, men of strong
character-those who pose as leaders

nevertheless perform their duties as
faithfully as possible under the circum-
stances, holding the majority response

cation at last in an endorsement or re-
buke at the bar Of public opinion. Here
is public official who, upon finding
himself unable TO control the majority,

A SMART YOUTH.
She said She Would BE a Sister, and He
Took Her at Her Word.

0he sara she would BE a Sister, and He
Took Her at Her Word.
IL was Thanksgiving night, and after
attending the theater he took the girl
whom he was later going to ask to be
his wife to little supper. Arrived al
tine home of his inamorata, he accepted
her invitation to step in few moments.
mat was the time he had been long
looking forward to, and he had not the
least idea but that her reply to the most
momentous question of his life would be
In the affirmative. He was somewhat
dazed when the young lady, for whom
ne had spent greater portion of his
salary for several months past, told him
that while she did not love him enou0h
! to become his wife, still she did think
considerable of him, and would be to
him as a sister.
with crestfallen air he babe her
good night and went to his by 10 room
TO think over The refusal. In taking off
MS shoes preparatory to going to bed, he
noticed large hole in the toe Of one of
OF his stockings, and his mind wandered
to his home in Maine, to the many win
ter evenings he had sat in the kitchen
beside the fire, reading and building air
castles, while his sister was busily en-
gagged in repairing his clothing, and
then 1t occurred to him that now she
was far away and could not mend any
more of his socks; like fash came back
to him the answer Of the young woman
more than an hour previous, and select
ing from his dresser some shirts without
buttons, several pairs Of hose that were
more or less "holy," he made mp bun
die, and the following evening presented
himself at the house of the young lady
who had promised to be sister to him.
This bundle he took with him into the
parlor, and after few Minutes CONVEX
sation, during which for the most part
the eyes of his new found "sister" were
riveted upon the bundle, he started to
take his departure, and, passing over
the bundle to her, said, "You promised
last evening to be sister to me, You
know, and as my sister used to do all my
mending before she was married and |
came to Boston to seek my fortune, I /
Will now give you an opportunity TO |
prove your words"
Three days have elapsed, and as yet |
he has not received his bundle Of mended !
clothing, nor has he received a letter
from the young lady. To friend last |
evening he told the story, and casually !
that if the bundle did not |
come home before next Saturday night |
he had made up his mind to again call,
for if the mending had been done it
would save him buying some more
stockings at least, and if not-well, he
would have to spend a quarter. Boston

German ofacers and German Gun,

The revelations made as to the quality
Of rifles furnished to the German army
are enough to turn Emperor Williams
hair white. Pastor Ahlwardt, not from
patriotic motive, but to crafty per-
sonal spite, made public information
showing that out Of a consignment Of
300 new rifles manufactured for the
German army 500 were absolutely worth
less. The plain, unvarnished cause of
1t was that the officers of the German
army whacked up with the men who
manufactured the guns, and these ras-
Gals mutually pocketed the money that
should have gone into the perfecting of
the arms.
II suddenly war had broken out, the
German army would have been in fine
situation, for the same conditions un.
doubtedly exist in regard to the other
guns provided for the soldiers. The
stain on the officers Of the German army
is one that cannot be wiped out. These
officers constitute the military aristoc-
rscy of Europe and are the proudest on
the earth, yet they have been guilty Of
crime beside which Benedict Arnold
stands out white and patriotic. He had
been wounded to the death in his pride,
and 1t was motives of revenge that
prompted him to betray the army of his
country into the hands of its enemy
The officers of the German examining
board betrayed the army of their en-
peror and fatherland simply for gold.

mediately after he got into the car the
steers began to step on him. 1t was
their way of sitting down on him for
deadbeatism. he had at last to climb
upon the back of one Of the steers, who
objected with all his might to the pro-
ceeding. There was then a free steer
fight. The only way the fellow saved
his life was by clinging in most loving
and desperate embrace around the neck

than a miracle that he at length reached
the end Of this fearful journey alive.
