| He offered the young Frenchman a
cigar instead. The young Frenchman
went out into the world. He published
| what Mr.. Eustis had said in the Paris
| Figaro.
Twenty minutes after the paper ran
| out the press, the minister plenipoten-
| tiary and buncombhOwler eXtraordin-
airy Of Spain, resident in Paris, read il.
| He fell over in faint, pulling the side
| board down with him and calling out
| the fire department. RestOratives were
applied and Old Plenny soon revived.
| He sent Il message at once to the groom
of the back stairs and the Upupmuck-
amuck Of the Alhambra and the Bow
| legged-gentleman-in on her
majesty's chewing gum notifying them
that rich molten quality of hades was
to pay.
When the queen heard the news that
Mr.. Eustis had inSulied Spain she was
il her bedroom dong up her hair.
When the awful news was shot at her
majesty by an attendant, the Lord
Duke of the Potato-masher, the queen,
in the Quivering intensity of the mo-
ment put in six hair-pins, whereas it
hes been her habit to use only four.
This was noticed by ENTHUSIASTICALLY
the stone floor and bit pebbles out of
the cement, all because of the queens
travail"and the extra hair-pins.
IN minute all business was sus-
pended in the royal household. For
an hour everything was confusion
from the kitchen to the secret chamber
Of the royal Sanctum. If the roya!
and knighted ocok TO ner majesty had
been asked just then if she used Royal
or Price baking powder she wouldn't
have been able to have found voice for
reply.
Just about this time Don Guerre Rip
snorterre rushed wildly to the tele-
graph office and sent a message to the
United States demanding that some
thing be done. 1t was limited that
only the death Tor a Democratic NOM
ination to an elective office of Mr..
EuStis would be acceptable in Spain.
Mr.. Olney was sitting in his office
at the time in his shirt-sleevs. When
he received the message, he took
fresh wad of plug tobacco and opened
the message up; read it; took another
chew; spat, gurgled; went over to the
telegraph office, wired the joke to
Cleveland and then telegraphed Eustis
to deny the interview. The reply lie
got from Mr.. Eustis was to the effect
that he would see him in a land that
is hotter than day before he would
deny it. Olney sent another cable in
sisting. EustiS is not much of a liar
apparently; and still less of diplomat
but as the report reached him that
Spain was having an epileptic fit every
hour, he concluded to come out and
deny the interview. He acknowledged
that he told the young man what was
published but did not know it was for
publication. When Spain heard this.
the nation shot off into another in
termittent spasm, and is still suffering.
And Eustis doesn't care. He may
have lied at times during his life, but
he refuses to lay himself open to the
charge of being a sneaking diplomat.

Oh, RATS.

"A resident of Kansas City, Missouri,
whose premises were overrun by rats,
caught one in a trap the other day,
whereupon he proceeded 10 scald il 10
death, for which act some Sickly senti-
mentalist had him arrested for cruelty
TO animals. In the dearth of excit-
ing incidents and important facts the
Kansas City Star editorially pours hot
water all over the man who scalded
the rat, quoting Cowper and singing
IN lot of rot about torturing God 5
creatures, winding up with the declara-
ton that the humane sentiment of the
community had been outraged by the
act. for which the author of the cruel
deed is now under the ban of public dis
pleasure

roast on the ratkiller should go soak his

We have often conf actured over the

for unutterable disgust of "oh, rats"

THAT WOMAN'S Wall.

| The Eagle has often been laughed al
for asserting that the women leaders
| of the female suffrage movement were
at heart social and religious revOlu-
| tioniSts, enemies of the home, and the
| church, fighting motherhood and mar
| riage under the banner of reform. The
attention of such sneererS is called to
the resolution passed by the equal suf-
frage association at Topeka, the past
week, and which appeared in our tele-
| graphic columns of Friday morning.
This resolution, passed by women, calls
on the women of Kansas to withhold
their support and sympathy from the
church, from charity, and from moral

band, and not as rendezvous for po-
The man goes out into the world to
work, but the woman for recreation,
not to rule or control it. When woman
gives up her home and fails to make it
a retreat and an abiding place for the
man she loves, not only will the moral
standard, as now maintained go down,
but, as threatened by these women at
Topeka, the church will go down with
it. With the church will go religion
and charity. Reverse the order Of
nature and you reverse everything
human and defy the Divine. Do away
with the content Of the loyal wife,
whose head and heart and hands are
full of the labOrS Of love, and the rap
lures Of motherhood are wiped out
the world is lost.
The growing hen may prove an at
tractive novelty, and so the threat of
the Kansas Equal Suffrage association
will doubtless be passed over with a
smile; yet the fact of the abnOrmality
of these women but emphasizes their
loud talk of idiots and lunatic
asylums." No man. equal TO main
