THE OTHER

Some time ago, when an attempt was
made by Senator Hansbrough to get a
governmental appropriation for the ex.
termination of Russian thistle, Secretary
Morton of the department of agriculture,
and a number of equally we'll informed
democrats we're noisy in their protests.
The government could not pull weeds.
Of course not. Any farmer who was
worthy of the name could get up several
hours before breakfast and clear off 100
acres of the thistle, in addition to doing
the chores. Secretary Morton said so
and the other fellows echoed it.
In the flight of time, the thistle has
invaded Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, ILL
nois and other eastern states. It is not
nearly SO funny now. as it was then.
And it hasn't stopped, in it's onward
course, except long enough to scatter a
few billions of seeds. It is gong east
and south. For the thistle is a migra-
tory beast, and thrives just as we'll in
one state as in another. It is one of the
least particular animals as to it's abiding
place of which we have record.
AS soon as the thistle gets it's things
u%npacked, and begins to take a hand in
politics in these other states, the fellows
who didn't want the weed pulled in the
beginning, will be in position 20 pull a
few weeds themselves. It is a delightful!
task, and the men who opposed the ap.
preparation should certainly be able tc
clear off q few sections of land every day

The action Of the bond syndicate, in
failing to con to the relief of the ma

The first man to be killed by a bullet

The first man to be killed by a bullet
from n of the new Krag.Jorgenson
guns, was a desperate military prisoner
at Fort Sheridan. The bullet which
was fired at him pierced clear through
his head. through a live tree eight inches
IN diameter, and buried itself three feet
deep in a hillside. It is hardly necessary
to state that the killing was a complete

should properly be made by the nation
itself. The whole business is such a
bungle as might be expected Of democ-
racy, and the people now are paying for
the luxury Of a democratic administra-
ton. They come high, but if we must
have them we cannot avoid paying the
price, which is figured in bonded debt,
accumulating in little Jumps of s5O,OOO,-

DON'T CARRY BOOKS.

Into the Astor Library.

Into tht 8-toT
A Young man strobe into the Astcr

book under his arm, and was making
straight for the staircase to the reading
room when the old man who serves as
hall porter waved him back by a ges-
ture.
We'll. what's up with the old chap
anvyriv:'' he remarked TO his friend
Come back here. - said the porter,
simultaneously pointing a finger at some
unnoticcd object.

youth, not following the direction OF
the finger. Il like you for anice, polite
sort of guide in this building. Guess

ter sepulchrally.
Yes. - replied the young man, Il

binding on it I'd like TO fire it at your
head. There, - and he made a spring
inward, three steps at a time, followed
by the gasping porter, who finally lay
prone on the stone staircase frantlcally
holding ON to the vanishing coattails-
Come back he pleaded, now in
pIaintive tones, come back and read
the notice. You'll see l daren't let you
pass with that book. I'll lose my place
if you're seen with it Do, sir, please
come back. "
The notice is to the effect that all
books carried into the library are to be
left III the porter's charge and called for
on coming out. The idea is to prevent
readers walking off with books of the
library If without one coming IN and
with one going out, it's easy TO know
they're appropriating library property.
Before the making of this rule numer-
ous books We're removed, as it was not
easy to accost a reader and demand
whether or not a book i'll his possession
was his own or other peoples property.
