The Emitted States Il Dependency.

w hen Americans awaken to the fact
that this country is simply Il British
dependency that annually contributes
to John Bull 5000 million dollars
worth of gold, silver and farm prod
ucts. it is just possible they will drop
politics long enough to legislate in
favor of themselves. 1t is possible
Americans will conclude to adopt
monetary and industrial system of
their own regardless of what New or
Old England thinks about it.
Americans are more hopelessly at
the mercy of Great Britain than is Ire.
land. We all smile ut the heroic eff
forts of Irishmcn to obtain home rule,
little suspecting that our own America
is a long ways from being able to eX-
ercise home rule. Not in thirty years
has an American Congress convened
without a gang of English bankers at
its doors demanding and getting leg

have our traitorous cuckoo statesmen
sold us out that to-day Americans find
that after sustaining government and

produce enough extra to pay the de

interest gatherers. This unlucky con-
dition is the outgrowth of thirty

year in a palace at Madrid. In its

He Felt Hurt.

On a Michigan avenue car the
other day, says the Detroit Free
Press, a woman had baby about a
year old on her lap, and next on
her right sat an oldish man, who
was evidently fond of babies. The
child looked at him, and he
smiled and clucked in return. He
was getting along finely, when all
of a sudden the child puckered his
lips and began to howl.
"There There Don't cry, my
precious lamb :" said the mother,
in soothing tones.
Seems to be afraid of me?" OBJ
served the man.
ayes, sir, he do, and l can't make
it out. l had him out in the
country last week and he saw hogs
and horses and COWS right along,
and never seemed to care about
'em."
A giddy young woman across the
aisle began to giggle, and man
standing up and hanging to strap
uttered a gruff shaw! haw! haw ~
and slapped his leg. The old man
flushed up and looked hurt in his
feelings, and, seeing another giggle
and another haw! haw! haw! on
the way, he rose up and went out
on the platform and said to the
conductor:
"This is about the tenth time
I've been insulted on this road this
year, and the next hyena who does
it is going to get both eyes knocked
into one ~

When a man becomes so bad
that women desert him, it is time
for him to be heading toward a
graveyard.
When girl is fidgety because
the young man isn't where she is,
he can stay away as long as he
pleases, and be welcome when he
comes.
A woman's saying that no man
should know her preference for

her, does not necessarily make it
true.

No Such Thing as Time.

What is time? That it is an IL
fusion, even the most conservative
of sciences, mathematics, has come
to recognize. We count our time
by the rotations of our planet; has
the reader ever considered that il
he were to go close to the North
Pole and then travel around it in
an easterly direction he could walk
back all the lost days Of his child
hood? And if he were moderately
swiftfooted he might run around
the pole until he caught the earth
where it was when Julius Caesar
first landed in Britain, or when the
pyramids were built. He may re-
ply, ~ may run around, but L
know it won't bring back the days
of my youth" We don't believe it
would, either; but astronomically
that is, automatically = it
ought to, consequently our ideas of
time are utterly unreliable. There
is no such thing as time.

ducement to secure subscriptions to its fund.
Clarke advertised for an assistant and
$3.50. Several applied. Among others was
John Mclean, machinist. He drew $3.50
from building association and on June s
gave it to Clarke, who agreed that Mclean
should have S15 q week for his services for
six months The S15 week was never paid
After week or two Mclean wanted Clarke
to repay his $3.50. Clarke had not the
money. He again advertised to sell an in
terest in his business, and began negotiations

money. Clarke failed to produce the $3.50,
