Crushing the Clerk.

The hotel clerk who is flip may be a
prize package to his employer, because
some people love the easy familiarity
which blooms without cultivation, and
then again some don't. One of those
who doesn recently walked up to the
desk of a hostelry.
Can You give me room in this
house2" he asked, with the air of a
man who wanted the best.
The clerk spried up at once.
Il couldn't very well give you one
ont of it,. he replied, whirling the reg
lister around.
We'll, guess somebody else can, "
retorted the visitor, and he picked up his
bag and walked opt.--Detroit Free

now ne got even with preacher 1t
was on the occasion of his second mar
riage. After concluding the ceremony
the minister took advantage OF the
privilege accorded him by custom of
kissing the bride. While SO engaged
the groom suddenly imprinted a re-
sounding kiss on the cheek of the min
ister's wife, who was standing immedi-
ately behind the wedding party.
The lady was indignant, and the min
lister asked for an explanation. Coolly
enough and in few words, the groom
expressed the opinion that it was poor
rule that would not work both ways
and that he had as much right to kiss
the preachers wife as the former had
to kiss the bride.--Louisville Post.

RULE BRITANNIA"
AVERY POPULAR AIR WITH THE PRES
EMIT ADMINISTRATION.

American Labor Interests and the Home
Industries Are Not Considere s-The Ha-
waiian MIDDLE Is the Most Recent De-
velopment of AngIomania In Washingt ton
Since March 4, 1898, on the incom-
ing OF the present administration, both
the foreign and internal policy of the
country appears to have been formu-
lated with view to a consideration of
the interests OF foreign countries rather
than of our own country. This has APP
peared not only in one instance, but in
many instances. Setting aside such Int
tie matters as the exclusion of China OF
Japan tea from the White House kitch-
en- and the exclusive use of Ceylon tea,
because it is English, you know, we
find that similar policy only on q
larger scale and one of greater signifi-
canoe has been carried into our affairs
of state.
The most important feature was the
tariff measure formulated on English
free trade lines, without any regard or
consideration for the interests of Amer
lean labor or American industries. Hav-
ing changed our system of currency to
conform with that of England, it was
only natural that the same model should
serve on which to fashion our methods
of revenue. The result, it has been
found, would have been insufficient to
supply an income equal to the expend-
itures of our country. This also is Eng
lish.
We also have the suggestion made to
forestall the revenue by an issue Of
short term treasury bills. This method
of spending ones income before it is
earned is also of English origin.
The latest Anglomaniac development
that has emanated from Washington
this year has appeared in connection
with the Hawaiian middle. 1t appears
that the first published report of the sec
rotary of state on this subject was shown
to and approved by the British embas-
sador at Washington before it was hand
ed out for publication for the informa-
ton of the American people. We thus
nave PLAIN case OF an act undertaken
by the United States government and
supposed to be for the best interests of
the United States and of the American
people first submitted for the consider
alton and approval of the representative
of foreign country, and that country
England.
Not only has this most extraordinary
step been taken, which was decidedly
uncalled for and merely an act to curry
favor with what is English, you know,
but at the same time the secretary did
not even have the common courtesy to
submit copy of his report, even after
publication, to the lawfully recognized
representative of the Hawaiian Islands,
who is located at the seat of govern

His hand was rough and His hand was hard,
For lie wrought In wood in Nazareth town;
With naught of worship, with no regard.
In the village street He went up and down.
His hand was rough, but its touch was light,
As II lay on the eyes of him born blino;
Or strake sick folk In its healing might,
And gave back joy TO the hearts that pinned.

And lie hung In the sight of the world, at last,
In His shame. And the red blood trickled
